Some owners manuals are available here: ATS and Surge Protection
Up to the mid-02 the transfer control boxes were built without any type of protection from voltage spikes, over/under voltage or any type surge from bad ac power from the campground power pedestal.
The Maverick transfer box installed in mid 02 coaches provides over/under voltage protection from shoreline power only with a surge protection device mounted on the side of the box. If you look at the box you will see two lights indicating power is connected to your coach, this small box is the surge protector. One word of caution, do not remove the cover of this small box thinking something is wrong with power or you think one of the lights are out. This surge protection device is filled with a sand type substance to absorb the power if the unit were to fail due to a high voltage spike or power surge. The transfer box is calibrated at the factory to protect from over/under voltage in the range of 100v to 133v AC.
The 06 to present transfer box is an automated electrical control system with electrical system protection (ESP). This control box is a line/generator switch, load manager and surge protection for generator and shoreline power and is capable of line diagnostics. The ESP monitors polarity, phase and voltage level readings between 102v to 135v ac. These readings are used to switch to utility power or generator power. Surge protection is on the input lines as well as the load lines and protects the coach with maximum coverage.
