I built one from a cheap rack mount outlet strip from FS.com I think and a
relay. Maybe had $20 into it.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Local Generator
Just had the same issue at a remote customer site that had the customers
ac down. So I found this:

On the same subject in our NOC we have a APC AP7723 AC transfer switch.
Has two AC inputs and if one fails automatically switches to the other.
Handy when doing maintenance on the UPS system. Would like something like
that for when we use a generator at a remote site we can plug one input
into generator and other into AC power. The idea is that hopefully when
the generator runs out of fuel power might be back on and save an urgent
trip to switch over. Was thinking there should be something cheaper and
smaller than the APC unit?
This only applies to our small sites and rare extended outage. Most our
main sites have a ~50 gallon propane tank and small generac with transfer
switch.

What's a good generator likely to be in-stock locally? Mine has gone
missing. It doesn't need to be big. A couple hundred watts is more
than enough. It just needs to produce clean power for a UPS to ingest.
