Thanks for the advice. It would probably be best if I set my cut off at 48.3 then, give me a little fudge room I think the lowest they seen this morning was 48.6 under load. The battery monitor for the inverter is still showing 1 green bar. I know I can get a bit more out of my system, so I'm...

It's not that difficult really. You would use the MOES as basically like a single pole, single throw relay. Bring your grid hot wire to the grid hot on the MOES, then bring that hot back off where the load connects and take that to your transfer switch. Just let the grid neutral go to your...

The other transfer switch came in sooner than I expected, so I got everything hooked up and it's working fine. This morning was my first test. I've got the charge controller operating a 12 vdc solid state relay which kills the power to the grid side of the transfer switch. It just switched back...

I do, hope that isn't a problem.

Are you referring to the ground (neutral) or grounded (earth ground)? I don't intend to switch the grounded wire. I was intending to use the MOES upstream of the transfer switch for this purpose, but after looking at my charge controller it appears it'll do the same thing with a simple 12 volt...

Seems like there should be a way to have my midnite classics to trigger the change over for me, but I haven't exactly figured out how to do that yet. There's a lot these charge controllers are capable of. Actually, there just might be a way. I need to play around with this and see if it'll do...

Not all that complicated really, I'm just using a second switch to do the actual switching between the grid and inverter since I don't trust the MOES, but I do want the function it provides. Wish someone else made something like it that was better quality. The only thing I'm wondering about if...

Come to think of it, since they're using 2 separate relays to control the neutral and hot, it could even happen that something goes wrong in the electronics and it doesn't energize both relays together or deenergize them together, or just one of the coils burning out on a relay. Any of those...

Actually, I don't think that's possible. What I can see that could happen is if one relay got stuck, let's say the hot on the grid relay was stuck, but not the neutral, then your load would be trying to pull the hot through the grid and it's neutral from your inverter or it could happen the...

Well, it will be actually, but only on the grid side of it, nothing will be connected to the inverter side. The grid will come in on the grid side of the switch and then go back out in the center and then to the grid side of the second switch. When the MOES switches to the inverter there will...

This is why I've decided to not connect my inverter to the MOES unit, but to a secondary transfer switch. There will be another advantage or possible disadvantage to what I have in mind, depending on how you look at it. With the configuration I have in mind if the grid power fails it would...

I just bought a MOES and was about to connect it when I happened to see the bad Amazon reviews about blown inverters and have been spending the last 2 days researching and trying to decide what to do. That's how I ran up on this thread. I'm running a Cotek Sp-4000 48 volt inverter and I sure...
