2. Operation
The transfer switch is situated between a generator or shore power and the inverter.
If the voltage level or the frequency of the generator or the shore power varies on input 1, the transfer switch will switch to the inverter on input 2.
Once the generator or the shore supply has remained continuously stable, the transfer will switch back to input 1 with a delay of approximately 10 seconds. This way, the appliances that are connected to the output are protected against damage from voltage drops.
During transfer between one of the power sources from input 1 to input 2 or vice versa, the appliances are not supplied with power for a short time. Because of this, computers, electronic devices etc., that are connected to this group might lose data.
The transfer switch can be used with any type of inverter, but the best results, however, are obtained with an inverter from Victron Energy.
