Preventive Maintenance Auto Transfer Switch
Is there any preventive maintenance we should be doing on our Auto Transfer Switch? Heres why I ask - We just had an odd situation. Plugged into shore power a couple days ago as normal, then flipped...

Any six year old mechanical transfer switch should have its load contacts visually checked about every 2 or 3 years. If pitted, use a very fine file or fine sandpaper (NOT emery paper) to smooth the contact points. Other than that, tighten wiring connections and enjoy.
The 70 amp switch in my coach is twice oversize for the 30 amp generator so I don't worry too much about overload on the contacts. The 200 amp switch on my whole house generator is a bit oversize for the 83 amp generator. No trouble from either switch since new.
