Description
The Samlex Solar STS-30 AC Transfer switch is used with any modified sine wave or pure sine wave power inverter to create an uninterrupted power source in the event that main utility power fails. The STS-30 transfer switch is required to switch the critical AC loads to a standby / back up AC power source like a generator or a power inverter.
By installing the Samlex Solar STS-30 transfer switch at your breaker box and connecting a generator or power inverter to the transfer switch, you can run selected circuits for appliances such as a furnace, well pump, sump pump, refrigerator, television, computer, printer or lighting circuit during a power outage. Functionality is dependent on the capacity of your generator or modified sine wave or pure sine wave inverter.
