    Manual AC shore power/generator inverter change over switch?

    I have been reading reviews on manual AC transfer switches and reviews are all over the place. Prices are too. I need one to switch between a 30AMP shore power connection and the inverter. Anyone have a recommendation for one that they trust will do the job and not go up in smoke? :)

    I was wanting to get a Blue Sea brand busbar but they seem to jump from 150A to 600A My battery is fused at 250A so I figured all I really need is a 300A busbar. Can anyone recommend a good quality 300A busbar?

    Busbar stacking wires question?

    If I have a busbar with 6 lugs but have to connect 8 wires to it, can you put 2 wires on a single lug? Of course the busbar would be rated to handle maximum amp load of the system.

    I have 4 EVE 280Ah LiFePo4 cells I am making a 12v battery out of. I believe I want to put a Daly 200A or 250A BMS on it. I'm more than confused. The reason I have selected a 200A or 250A is because I my plans are to use a 2000W inverter for short periods of time. I notice they have several...
