Been there done that. I had the microwave on and fired the genny cause the campground voltage was low.

Burned out the coil in the transfer switch. The shore power would release, and the genny was trying to pull in the other side.

You know me, too cheap to replace the ATS, so I found an exact replacement coil for about 30 bucks.

So..... I kill everything now when transferring power sources. The first mate is trained to shut it down when I unplug and fire the genny.
