ATS Parallax 5070 issue 2004 Adventurer 35U
I was camping this past weekend running my 5550 generator with the basement air on my 50amp 2004 Adventurer. I started smelling something and shut things down. Took some looking. Turns out one of the load wires on the ATS 5070 got hot and melted its barrier block. I pulled the ATS and removed the damaged barrier block. I ordered two replacements from Digikey. I have enough slack to strip the load wire back to clean wire. One wire on the ATS that goes back to one of the ATS relays needs replaced. The short pigtail has a O-ring terminal at the relay end. Not sure what kind of wire/gauge to replace it with an add the O-ring. Looks crimped on an maybe soldered.
I'm considering buying a ATS 503 and fix the 5070 as a spare if I can make a new pigtail. I have the dimensions on the 503. I want to verify there are no space issues. I checked the barrier block screws a year or so ago. Assume they needed tightened and that's what caused this and I missed checked them this year.
