RV Transfer Power Switches

An RV Transfer Power Switch is a crucial component in RV electrical systems, designed to alternate the power source between an onboard generator and a shore power cord. Primarily, its purpose is to ensure that these two power sources are never connected at the same time, preventing back feeding and the risk of a power surge.

These switches divert electricity from the power cord supplying energy from an outside source (most commonly a campsite's shared power grid) to the generator when there is no external power available or when the generator is activated by the user.

RV transfer power switches also prevent overlapping by automatically switching over to the generator source when the engine is running while retaining the original external source when the engine is off. These switches come in two types; automatic transfer switches that toggle between power sources without user intervention and manual transfer switches that require manual switching.

The average RV transfer power switch is built to accommodate between 30 amps and 50 amps, making them versatile enough for the majority of electrical systems used in most RVs. They are usually a small, compact, box-shaped device, made with high-quality, durable materials to withstand the rigors of road life.

Whether an RV owner opts for an automatic or manual RV transfer power switch, it generally comes down to personal preference, and both types offer a wealth of benefits.

Advantages of RV Transfer Power Switches:

1. Safety: This is the main advantage of using an RV transfer switch. They operate to prevent power backfeeding which could result in severe damage to your electrical setup or personal injury.

2. Automatic Switching: Automatic transfer switches provide convenience by automatically switching between power sources.

3. Manual Control: On the other hand, manual switches give users more control over their power source.

4. Energy Efficiency: These switches ensure efficient use of energy by controlling the power source, making sure that there is no wastage of power.

5. Protection Against Power Surges: By isolating power sources, RV transfer power switches protect the RV’s electrical systems from dangerous power surges.

6. Easy Installation: Most RV transfer power switches are compact and easy to install.

7. Broad Compatibility: These switches usually support both 30 and 50 amp systems, making them versatile across different RV models.

8. Durability: Made with robust and high-quality materials, these switches are designed to last, providing long-term performance for users.
