Transfer Switch and Battery Charger Needed For 30 Amp Shore Power and 3000 Watt Inverter
Question:
I have a 30amp shore power hook up and a 3000w inverter. Is this 30amp transfer switch big enough to power that? What size charger do I get?

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 34264403 will work with your 30amp shore power cord and 3000w inverter. Your 3000w inverter will have a running watt rating of 3000 watts which is 25 amps on 120 volt power.
The size charger you select will need to reflect the power needed on the 12 volt side for recharging batteries and operating your 12 volt supply. Generally I recommend getting the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger # 34275013 as this one device takes place of the inverter, charger and transfer switch. This will generally save a lot of wiring and space. It is capable of working with up to 50 amp systems but will still operate with a 30 amp system like what you have. The charger on this is capable of 125 amps charging and it has a battery temperature sensor to ensure the batteries do not overheat.
Based on your needs we have Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266167 rated for 35amps of charging to a Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger # 34266912 rated for 100amps of charging. If you need help selecting the right amperage please let me know what you intend to power off your inverter, how much battery capacity you have and how long you intend to use the power inverter for off shore power.
