Introduction The Go Power!™ Transfer Switch 50 (TS-50) provide automatic power switching between two or three separate 120/240 volt AC input sources, including power cords, onboard generators, onboard inverters, or all three.
GP‐TS‐50 ___________________________________________________________ READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS! 2.1 Disconnect Power Make sure the generator is off, the external power cord is unplugged, and the inverter, if any, is shut off. 2.2 Mounting Location The TS-50 mounting location may be on any interior surface where the unit will be out of direct weather. The chosen location must be accessible after installation is complete to facilitate future servicing.
GP‐TS‐50 ___________________________________________________________ D. Route internal ground wires around lower area of enclosure and secure to ground wires away from electrical contacts on components to avoid the possibility of electrical short-circuit. E. Connect the ground wires to the ground bar. Tighten terminals to a minimum of 20 inch-pounds. F. Connect the neutral (white) wire connections. G. Connect the hot wire(s).
GP‐TS‐50 ___________________________________________________________ 2. Connect powercord hot 1 and hot 2 to powercord lugs HOT 1 BLK and HOT 2 RED. 3. Connect the generator neutral(s) to generator lug labeled NEUTRAL WHT. 4. Connect generator hot 1 and hot 2 to generator lugs HOT 1 BLK and HOT 2 RED. 5. Connect output to panel or other destination to the applicable “panel” lugs. The bypass switch should be in the “off” position (marked “1”). 2.5.

GP‐TS‐50 ___________________________________________________________ 3. Operational Testing READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Plug in the powercord. If the main panel circuit breakers are switched on, RV load should operate normally. Unplug the powercord. 2. Start the generator. There is a pre-programmed 20-30 second delay in the transfer switch. The delay is designed to allow the generator a brief warm-up period.
GP‐TS‐50 ___________________________________________________________ 4.2 General Low Voltage Low voltage can be caused by low voltage conditions such as an RV park with inadequate wiring for crowded camper conditions where everyone’s electricity suffers (brownout). In this case a voltmeter will be helpful and will show a low voltage reading from the park receptacle, even before the RV is plugged in.
GP‐TS‐50 ___________________________________________________________ NOTE: If the hi-pot test is performed from the plug on the powercord, the test may only hi-pot the cord itself; it may not test the RV wiring beyond the switch. The hipot test should be performed from either the transfer switch output or from the main panel. Test as follows: 1. Turn on all circuit breakers in the panel. 2. Make sure the generator is off. 3. Make sure the powercord is unplugged.
GP‐TS‐50 ___________________________________________________________ It is never advisable to start or stop a generator under load. To prolong the life of this transfer switch, and the life of the air conditioner, microwave oven and other appliances, always turn those appliances off before starting or stopping the generator. 7.
