OK lets see if I can explain. I will start with a statement of what is my issue, then try and explain the situation.
My generator is sending power to the shore power cord
OK here goes: Everything is fine, cleaning the RV, putting things away, no problem, nice weather dogs happy, life is good. Coach is plugged in to shore power at our house (30 Amp system). Everything is fine all day. Nothing in coach running except TV. Shut everything down, all fine. Will leave the Coach plugged in as I always do when not travelling.
Now, go outside after dinner, notice there is no power to coach..hmmmmm. Check the outlet, it is tripped, hmmm...reset, trips again. Unplug the shore power , start investgating, decide to start the genny and see whats happening. OK here goes the best part and my ISSUE. When the genny starts and the transfer switch kicks in, I plug the shore power in and it blows the breaker....OK get out the meter, guess what..120 volts on the plug....coming from the coach, the genny is putting 120 volts on my sore power cord??? HELP. I gotta figure it has something to do with the transfer switch, but I don't know what to do next.
By the way, I have a Todd Transfer switch, we have 30 amp service .
