• Recommended Replacement For An Intellitec 50 Amp Transfer Switch
• Yes, the Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch - 50 Amp - 125/250V # F50ATS is a compatible replacement for your Intellitec 50 amp transfer switch. This transfer switch automatically reroutes your RV's AC input from shore power to generator power when activated.

This feature also protects...

• What Does Amp Rating Mean For Transfer Switch & Can 30 Amp Work w/ 50 Amp Shore Power
• The 30 amp or 50 amp is just the power the transfer switches are rated for in order to match the 30 amp or 50 amp power that RV's are rated for.

• Is There a Transfer Switch That Can Take Input From Shore Power, Generator and Inverter Power?
• With a transfer switch like the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 342GPTS you would have to use a second Transfer Switch # PD5110010Q to connect 2 of the three sources. Your shore power cord could also be used with a separate plug in for a generator connection(This is how several RV's are from the factory), as you only have 2 inputs. Since there is not a single unit that can take power from 3 sources and have one output. We have the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger...

• Troubleshooting A Transfer Switch Making A Buzzing Sound
• The terminal screws of your Furrion Automatic Transfer Switch - 50 Amp - 125/250V # F50ATS could just be loose causing the buzzing sound. The sound you hear is an audible signal that the electrical current is jumping a gap across metal connections that aren't in firm contact so I recommend disconnecting the shore power to your RV and tightening each screw. If this does not solve the issue then this is a signal that your transfer switch may need to be replaced.

• Replacement Converter Options For A 1994 Fleetwood RV
• Your converter must have a built-in transfer switch to be able to switch between shore power and generator power. The Progressive Dynamics converters and power centers that we offer do not include a transfer switch so one would need to be purchased separately. As for replacing the converter, you'll typically want to just match the amperage of what you currently have to avoid having to run new wire. 30 to 45 amps is pretty typically for most RV's, but it's best to check the label on your...

• Can a Inverter Be Wired To a Automatic Transfer Switch To Power a CPAP Device?
• Yes, you can wire your Inverter # 34278156 to your Transfer Switch # F30ATS to be able to power your CPAP in your bedroom. Do understand since the entire RV will be able to receive power this may cause you to quickly drain your batteries since more than just the CPAP will be drawing power. You may be best to mount the inverter in your bedroom so only the CPAP can get power from the battery lowering the draw on the coach battery.

• How Many AC Inputs Does Go Power Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ Transfer Switch part # 34279458 Have
• The Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ Transfer Switch part # 34279458 has one AC input and AC output. The reason the description says 2 AC inputs is because it is referring to the shore power and the inverter power as AC. However, I can see how that description can be misleading. This inverter takes 1 shore power AC input and your DC battery to provide AC power to the fuse panel. The transfer switch will draw power from shore power automatically when the RV is plugged in to...

• Recommended Inverter With Transfer Switch To Power A Residential Fridge
• Conventional refrigerators typically have a starting wattage of 800-1200 watt-hours/day, and a running wattage of around 150-watt hours/day. Refrigerators are reactive devices that require additional power to start because they contain an electric motor, but significantly fewer watts to run as they remain on. Because of this I recommend the Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ Transfer Switch - Remote - 1,800 Watts - 12V # PD44FR. The # PD44FR has an integrated transfer switch...
