light after 30 seconds, the time delay function in the module has failed, and the
module should be replaced. To verify this, try setting the time delay switch on the
board to the delay bypass position; the switch should transfer with no delay. Note
that this position will allow emergency operation until the module can be replaced;
however there will not be a 20-30 second delay for generator start-up. All repairs
should begin by unplugging and replacing the control module first. However, if the
LED is on and the switch is not working, then the control module is functioning
properly and the switch has other problems, such as a failed relay or contactor, and
the entire switch should be returned for replacement.
5. HI-POT TESTING
(MANUFACTURING COMPANIES ONLY)
NOTE: If the hi-pot test is performed from the plug on the power cord, the test may
only hi-pot the cord itself; it may not test the RV wiring beyond the switch. The hi-pot
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 power cord is unplugged. Verify that the prongs on the power
cord plug are protected so that the hi-pot voltage won’t cause a fault reading
from a short, or cause bodily injury from electrical shock.
4. Turn off or disconnect all appliances that would be damaged by the hi-pot test.
5. Connect the hi-pot leads to:
a) Transfer switch ground bar
b) Transfer switch output terminals hot 1, hot 2 (if present), and neutral.
6. Energize the hi-pot and conduct test. This will hi-pot test for leakage (short)
between the current-carrying conductors and the ground in the entire 120/240
VAC circuitry beyond the transfer switch. In most cases it will also test the
power cord itself. Turn off the hi-pot.
7. Do not test the transfer switch generator input. The hi-pot will damage the
time delay control module in the transfer switch. If the generator wires to the
switch must be checked, disconnect the generator wires from the transfer
switch and connect hi-pot test leads to the loose wires. Reconnect wires after
testing.
8. If hi-pot test fails, there is a short in the system. The next step is to isolate the
location of the short. Turn off the main breaker in panel and hi-pot test again. If
the test still fails, the fault is between the switch and the panel. Test cord for
shorted plug. If the test passes, turn on the main breaker, and turn on all branch
breakers except one. Retest each branch circuit individually until the shorted
circuit is isolated. Repair the fault and retest. The hi-pot test is successful when
there are no more fault indications.
6. GENERATOR NOTE
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. MEDICAL APPLIANCES
Go Power! Electric will not knowingly sell a Go Power! Automatic Transfer Switch
for any life-support application. It is strongly recommended that you do not operate
any life support equipment from a transfer switch. If the switch should malfunction,
