Need new 50 amp transfer switch

He has decided to add protection so is going with this one.

AS OP stated, Iota out of transfer switch business. Still make charger converters, however. I like and use Progressive Dynamics, mainly due to made in America. The ESCO/Lypt Power units are ok also. I prefer contactor units over relay units, as I think they last longer.

AllegroD,
Thanks for the link. While that xfer switch is not the one (don't need surge protection), the site does have the best information I have seen so far on xfer switches. I am looking for a xfer switch that does not buzz or humm as it is mounted right under the floor of the master suite.

I have one of the previous versions 41260, factory installed. My bedroom is slightly forward of the compartment it is mounted in. I have not noticed any humming or buzzing, even when my head is right in front of the open compartment. I have a 5 year old PT50 PI EMS in the compartment so I can watch the readout.

PD has one with DC coils, so humm free. Upright vertical mounting is recommended.

YC 1,
The IOTA ITS 30R is no longer available.

Why not just replace it with the same unit? I know there have been issues but I suspect mostly due to connections not being tightened or re-tightened.

Norcold has a reputation and folks still use them and replace them. Putting the same one back in makes things easy. Use some non oxidation lube on the wires and screws. Be sure the wires are either spotless clean or trimmed back if necessary. I replaced mine last year and took the old one apart. I am a Senior Certified Electronic tech with 50 years troubleshooting things like this and I am very satisfied with the build quality of the new ones. The circuit board in my old one died and it would not switch. I had kept the connections tight by checking every year. Mine is a 2008.
