I have a Generac 30,000 watt propane generator. The 5.7 GMC engine and the generator both work fine, but it came without an automatic transfer switch. What ATS will work with this unit?

SOURCE: Generac Guardian 15kW Generator

That sounds just about right, if the relay contacts get welded together it sometimes takes out the driver on the printed circuit board. As you found out, 12vdc from 23 to 194 makes the transfer switch move to the Generator position, relay not energized makes the ATS move to the Normal position.

You can make a nice test function by installing a 10 amp contact switch in series with either the N1 or N2 terminals. When the switch is open the generator thinks the Normal power has failed.

Carl

Generac Guardian Standby Generator 04760 15KW LP won't stay running

Turns out it was the Manual-off-Auto switch that was bad. My DVM showed a voltage drop across the switch. The controller wasn't getting enough power.

One good thing about it was it forced me to really study the schematics to understand how everything worked. I'm now in the process of designing my own esp32 based controller, with wifi connectivity, to replace the stock control board.

I have a new 20 kw propane gen. Eaton generac, with a generac transfer switch/load center combo.When I simulate a power outage the gen starts up transfer switch changes states, power is on all workin

Check with an Eaton power service center. Their sensors/relays are notoriously complicated.

Generac 20,000kW Standby generator doesn't start shows message STOP ALARM OVERCRANKED

Overcrank means that it tried to start and couldn't. It will go through 5 crank cycles and then stop with this alarm. Switch to off, hit enter to clear fault and then try to start in manual. Check to make sure you have fuel and pressure is 11 to 14 in WC.

Check the connections on the tranfer relay and two coils. The two coils have blue wires. I have seen them come off from assembly or shipping its common. Each coil has two blue wires #8 and E1 with crimp steak ons and limit switches make sure there all pushed on all the way. Hope this helps

For these 4 control wires. How many watts do they consume. I have a generator 150ft away from the transfer switch, should these 4 18AWG control wires upsized?

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.

On a power failure switch will transfer to generator when commercial power is restored the switch will not transfer back and the generator cuts off leaving the building without power.

Sounds like a problem with the H-100 controller. Contact Generac to get support.

Sounds like the electritian wired something wrong. Control wiring for that generator should be:
N1 and N2 = 240 vac utility input
Wire 0 = ground
Wire 194 (15B) = + battery
wire 23 = transfer signal
