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! 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, or
fail to operate due to other external conditions, it is possible that all connected
appliances, including any life support equipment, will also shut down, resulting in
a risk of medical complications and potential loss of life.
8. Caution
Do not install this or any electrical accessory in the battery compartment, or a
compartment intended for storing flammable liquids or liquids, which produce
flammable or explosive fumes such as gasoline, etc. There are components in
the Transfer Switch, which, in their normal operation, may cause arcing. In
addition, the act of turning on a light switch or unplugging the cord on an
electrical appliance can cause a spark, which can ignite any combustible liquids
or vapors. Therefore, do not install a transfer switch in a compartment intended
for storing flammable liquids, and never store flammable liquids inside a
compartment containing any electrical device.
