Will Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch Transfer to Inverter When Shore Power is Lost

Updated 07/31/2023 | Published 07/29/2023

Question:

When shore power is lost, will the switch transfer back to inverter power? If so, is the transfer immediate to avoid power loss to devices, or will there be a period without power when transferring back to the inverter?

Yes, the Go Power Automatic Transfer Switch # 34264403 is designed to switch to inverter power when the shore power is disconnected (and there isn't a generator running).

There is a 20-30 second delay for the switch to jump from one power source to another and that's set in place to help you avoid losing power. For example, if you're plugged into shore power and you started up a generator, the generator has priority so this unit will switch to the generator, but only after the generator has been running for 20-30 seconds. This gives it enough time to warm up and have enough power for your RV.
