Xantrex 8080915 PROwatt Transfer Switch Review

This is exactly the product I needed for my automatic drain pump backup battery. The box is of good quality with cables. They even add labels to the cables so you know where to attach them. I did not disassemble the thing, but everything indicates high quality. As soon as I plugged it in, I heard the switch click, knowing the power was on. When I pull the plug out of the wall, the switch drops off and the drain pump pumps from the inverter. It works perfectly. While not necessarily a cheap…

I've been working from home since this COVID mess. About a month ago it dawned on me that I could easily run my laptop and 2 monitors on solar power. My setup worked great, but at night I had to manually switch to mains power as soon as my battery ran out.

I have security cameras that can be seen on the additional TV in this entertainment center. When it's sunny I use a 600w Samlex inverter (sine wave) to power the TV. Before I got the relay transfer switch I'm considering, I had

Have been looking for this type of switch for a long time to use at our remote cabin. and dense forests in southern Indiana, about an hour from any major city. We're in a large valley by a small lake and we don't have a cellular intercom without our Wilson 70db amplifier (you need a newer self-regulating unit that always maintains reception, not the old manually tunable units). We had almost no OTA TV without a Winegard LNA-200 amplifier on 2 antennas in the attic and Denny's Stacker UHF/VHF…
