Belgian Senior Member National RV Owners Club Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Manhattan Beach, CA Posts: 302	I have a Onan 7000 generator and have a question about output. I'm checking voltage at the transfer swith and I get the following readings; red-white=120V, black-white=120V, red-black=0V. Shouldn't I get 220V between red-black? __________________ Steve & Jeri 2004 Dolphin 5342 79 VW Triple Black
