Generac 100 Amp 120/240-Volt Transfer Switch #RTSN100A3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It is possible that your voltage regulator is shot but before purchasing the volt regulator try flashing the fields first and make sure the brushes and rings are clean.

There isn't much you can do with servicing the generator set or transfer switch unless you've got lots of experience in diagnoising semi-conductors and electronic components.

Depending on the age of the system, it would be benificial to have a qualified service tech take a look at it.

As an electrician, I've installed several back up generator sets in homes for customers and have had a few of these automatic transfer switches with intermittent operation issues. Sometimes it's the switch and other times it's the Generator that is causing the problems.

Hope this helps, and best regards!

Connection between ATS and generator: 220V signal line is connected to generator control cabinet terminal (D2 and D3) https://www.dieselgeneratortech.com/generator-sets/conversion-between-diesel-generator-and-mains-through-ats.html

The manuals below will help with this question. PG 122 of the service manual will start the flow charts for this problem. www.arcolawn.com is who I use for parts.

The AVR is dead. remove the back cover and remove it. it's a rectangular shaped plastic container with cables located at 12'o clock of the alternator. make sure to write down color an position of cables or better yet, take pictures. once you have it outside look for the numbers located on top of the bar code and input those numbers in the part number locator tab of http://www.partstree.com/parts/ and replace it. Regards

If it spins and will not engage it needs removing and the bendix gear on the starter is probably worn or damaged

This is not a simple question. If you intend to run the full 100A and want to use 2core and earth pvc cable then you need 50mm squared cross section conductors BUT if the cable is long you need to consider the voltage drop and may need a larger cross section cable. If yor want to run armoured cable, you can use 25mm squared conductors,but again you must take length into consideration

that is correct

just 4. I install generac switches and generators

Yes. He is not a qualified generac technician or dealer. Sound like you need a control board. I recommend you find a generac authorized dealer to get a Tech out to fix it. I do it everyday at this electrical company.

No. They are fine. The voltage is 220. But the amperage is nearly nothing because its just for signaling the generator and switch when the powers out. I install, repair, and service generac products for a living.

This is not a DIY job unless you know what you are doing. But here is a link describing how it is done. I will not be responsible for any accident or damage done from installing it incorrectly. I would advise you to call a qualified electrician. http://members.rennlist.org/warren/install.html

What do you mean by "there's no power to the disconnect switch"?
Is it the feeder from the mains or from emergency generator?

If it is the input from mains and you don't have voltage on it, this should make the generator to start, if automatic start is selected and thus give voltage to the other feeder (emergency), the switch goes on and the consumers have power.

If you have power on your mains feeder, you don't need voltage on your "emergency" feeder. Then the consumers should be supplied by your mains contactor.

Check the exciting field wires and fuses.

Call an electrician.

Sounds like Generator mode switch should be "ON".

As long as the hot water tank is no more than fifty feet from the panel, you will need 10/3 with ground wire, wire staples and a 30 amp double pole breaker. Be sure to purchase enough wire with about 4 feet extra to allow for connections.

Be sure to fill the water tank before turning on the power. To be sure it is full, run water through the nearby faucets, turning on the hot water faucets or both to be safe. If you fire up an empty hot water tank you will destroy the heating elements almost instantly.

its the rotor ,the stater ,voltage regulateor or control board. i fix these everyday.

if you dont have the field excitation then you'll never get any AC no matter how your motor runs..field excitation comes in two types..one is by pole magnets and two is by field coils connected to a battery..
