I have a Pecron E1500LFP I'd like to run in UPS mode to automatically power my pellet stove when the grid goes down. From everything I've read, using a transfer switch that only breaks the hot (i.e. all the normal Reliance products) will create a neutral-ground loop if you connect the solar generator output and input at the same time.
It seems like using a transfer switch that can also switch the neutral (i.e. EZ Generator Switch or something similar) wouldn't have that problem. Everything will still have a common ground, but the power station output hot AND neutral will be isolated from the input hot AND neutral. Basically the exact same way it works if I just plug the pellet stove directly into the power station. Am I missing something here? Just want to do a sanity check before I wire everything up and blow up my Pecron.
