If the main power switch is off, be it the ped or the RV, you should NOT be getting any sparks. Have an electrician look it over. EMS would have a time delay so you would not see any sparks. If you are using an Autoformer and the switch you speak of is the ped switch is on, then you would see sparks. If you see sparkes with switches off you have a load on someplace. I have see 1 MH with an outlet in front of the Transfer Switch for GEN auto start that would cause this condition if the PED switch is on. That is why you need to shut off the ped every time you plug or unplug.
