Hey Everyone,
I am working out the electrical systems for my RV conversion and have run into questions regarding my inverters and ATS.
Trying to be a bit creative and frugal I thought that I would look into building my own.
Just to be clear, I want certain receptacles to be fed shore power and when shore power disappears I want them to switch over to inverter power.
As I pondered the problem and potential solutions I came upon the idea of simply using a DPDT relay with the coil connected to the shore power connection.
No shore power=Coil de-energized=Inverter connected to load
Shore power on=Coil energized=Shore power connected to load
This can't work. It's too simple...... What am I missing? I don't need a time delay like my generator transfer switch.
Any thoughts?
