Hello Howie,

I use Jackson Systems (dotCom) wireless relays.

Regards, Dean

Reviewing the posts, I agree that wouldn't help.

Then you have to find a 600V DC rated contactor. If you are going to use a contactor, which the original poster said he couldn't do, why not use the 240V AC rated, costs about $129 for a 30A contactor.

Why not disconnect the DC into the inverter with a Tyco relay?  No DC, no AC.

Hi All,

I am looking for options for controlling a disconnecting relay for a
grid-tied inverter.  It is a PVI5000 so 30 amp 240vAC.  I need to
disconnect it when the backup generator gets kicked on by the Automatic
Transfer Switch when the grid goes down.  The array is on a garage that is
several hundred feet from the house and service entrance and ATS and
digging in a control wire for that distance won't work.  So I need a way
to sense that the generator is putting out power and then control a
contactor which would disconnect the inverter from the subpanel.  I've
looked for wireless and powerline control options but I can't seem to put
together the pieces.

Any ideas of the most cost effective and reliable approach?

Thanks,
Howie
