The Go Power ASW-3000-12-TS (83829) combines a 3,000W pure sine wave inverter and a 30A automatic transfer switch for 12V RV systems. This guide identifies the power path, the numbered manufacturer connections and related items in our catalog.
How AC pass-through and battery inversion work
External AC available
External AC unavailable
No battery charger is built into this model. When external AC is present, the inverter allows pass-through; when it drops out, it supplies the selected 120V circuits from the battery. A separate converter or charging system is required to recharge the batteries.
Manufacturer control and connection reference
The Go Power ASW manual identifies fifteen numbered external features, from AC terminal access to the DC input, status lights and RV-C communications port. This is a reference to the features on the unit, not a catalog of separately orderable internal repair parts.
| Factory reference | Feature | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | AC input terminal access | External 120V shore or generator supply enters here. |
| 2 | AC output terminal access | Output wiring to protected downstream RV circuits. |
| 3 | On / Off / Remote selector | Selects local or remote operation. |
| 4 | RV-C communications port | Supported PowerTrak and RV-C network connection. |
| 5 | RV-C termination switch | Enables onboard network end-of-line resistance where required. |
| 6 | DIP switches | Controls load-sensing behaviour. |
| 7 | Enable / dry-contact terminals | External enable and fault-status functions. |
| 8 | AC pass-through indicator | Displays presence of external AC pass-through. |
| 9 | Inverter status light | Reports inverter operating or fault status. |
| 10 | Chassis ground terminal | Equipment grounding connection. |
| 11 | Battery reverse-polarity indicator | Warns of a DC input polarity problem. |
| 12 | Remote switch connector | Port for designated optional on/off remote. |
| 13 | Negative battery terminal | 12V DC negative input. |
| 14 | Positive battery terminal | 12V DC positive input via specified fuse. |
| 15 | Neutral bonding configuration screw | Neutral-to-ground configuration according to factory AC instructions. |

Electrical protection and display options
Go Power specifies 4/0 AWG DC cable, a 400A Class-T fuse on the positive battery lead and a maximum 10-ft run per battery cable for the ASW-3000-12-TS. The GP-DC-KIT5 is the manufacturer's matching 3000W installation kit. The inverter has hardwired AC input/output connections and a 30A relay rating; follow the manual's conductor and breaker guidance.
For PowerTrak monitoring, the GP-PT-DIS-KIT (84025) includes a display, 25-ft RV-C harness and terminating resistor; the GP-PT-DIS-3 (83457) is a display only. Connection to the inverter can require additional RV-C-specific harness components. These options are alternatives depending on the existing system.

Inverter/charger alternative
For a system requiring battery charging as well as inversion and transfer, see Go Power AIC-3000-12-SL (83834). This is a different complete product, not a compatible replacement board for 83829.
Manufacturer diagrams and installation manual
The March 2026 Go Power ASW user manual contains the original numbered exterior reference, detailed DC and AC wiring illustrations, and RV-C connection requirements. It should be used instead of the simplified power-flow illustration for installation.
