Re: [RE-wrenches] Generator automatic disconnect

[Larry Crutcher, Starlight Solar Power Systems]

If you mean automatic transfer, how would you trigger it since AC power will be present from both sources at the inverter output? Do you mean a N.C. contactor that would open on gen power, something like attached drawing?

Do you know a way of doing this.
