Thanks to Christopher Freitas and Kirk who answered my question. Its great to have this resource for a quick answer to problems others have already resolved.
By the way, we have found a great new way to install ground mounted racks. Maybe I am the last to know, but sign companies who do work f
If I'm following this thread correctly, the
relay is to break the flow of AC current to the
battery based inverter (Outback) from a direct
grid tie inverter when the grid is down and the
batteries are full. The AC coupling here would
be done at the protected loads panel, fed from the AC Out
I have usually done the same setup as Kirk - but I have used the Potter
Brumfield "PRD" style relay - which are available from Grainger under
the "Dayton" brand name (of course). These provide a "visual break"
which is nice to be able to check when doing testing etc.
I like using the AC coil
I have done it with a SQD 60a, 240 vac contactor. The coil is 120 vac. It is
driven by a secondary 12vdc relay sending 120 ac to the coil. The coil of
the dc relay is driven by the 12 vdc auxiliary output of the Outback FX
inverter. I use the contactor and dc relay normally closed contacts. They

What specific supplier, model number, and brand relay have you found to be perfect to isolate the inverter AC output to the sub-panel of a battery-based inverter in an AC coupled system?
This will be in the 20 to 30 amp 240 VAC contact range. Also, do you normally set it up as N.C. or N.O. for f
