Title: transfer switch for cabin
Post by: sbishop on September 03, 2013, 09:48:33 AM

I'd like to have a transfer switch that i can switch between the batteries/inverter and generator. its only to power tv/laptop and a few lights....i'm thinking 2 15amp circuits would be plenty...Is there any manual transfer switches with built in breakers out there? not looking for something really expensive. I thought i could use it also a shutoff...when i'm not there i switch it to the generator side (generator will be transported back and forth)

I saw a 30amp RV automatic transfer switch but it doesn't have any built in breakers. Thanks

Amazon.com has a good selection of transfer switches. Square D makes a small six circuit breaker panel sold at Home Depot.
