Xantrex Inline Transfer Relay f/PROwatt SW Product Description
Imagine you're out on a weekend adventure in your RV or boat, plugged into shore power at the campground, enjoying all the comforts of home. Suddenly, it's time to hit the road or head further offshore. With the Xantrex Inline Transfer Relay for PROwatt SW inverters, switching seamlessly from shore power to your inverter's clean AC output happens effortlessly—no more manual unplugging or fumbling with cords. This compact 15A relay is designed specifically as an accessory for PROwatt SW series inverters, making it a must-have for off-grid enthusiasts who demand reliability and convenience.
Unlike basic manual switches that require intervention, this inline relay automates the process, prioritizing shore power when available and flipping to inverter power only when needed. It's a game-changer for RVers, boaters, and solar system owners who want uninterrupted power without the hassle.
Standout Features That Set It Apart
- Compact and Easy-Mount Design: Sleek footprint that installs inline with minimal space requirements—perfect for tight RV bays or marine electrical panels.
- 15 Amp Capacity: Handles typical loads from lights and appliances up to 15A, matching the needs of most PROwatt SW setups.
- Plug-and-Play Connections: Includes a dedicated power plug that mates directly with the inverter's GFCI outlet, plus hardwire leads for straightforward AC input and output integration.
- Automatic Switching Logic: Intelligently detects shore power presence and prioritizes it over inverter output to prevent backfeeding and ensure safety.
- Built for Harsh Environments: Rugged construction withstands vibrations, moisture, and temperature swings common in mobile applications.
Real-World Benefits for Power Users
Power management in mobile setups often means compromising on convenience or safety. This relay eliminates those trade-offs. For RV owners, it means keeping your microwave humming or coffee maker brewing without skipping a beat during transitions. Boaters benefit from silent inverter operation only when shore power drops, saving battery life. In solar-powered cabins or vans, it integrates flawlessly to maximize renewable energy use.
Common Scenarios Where It Shines
- RV Camping: Switch from pedestal power to inverter for early morning departures without waking the whole site.
- Marine Applications: Maintain AC loads like fridges and pumps during anchoring, protecting batteries from unnecessary drain.
- Off-Grid Homes/Vans: Prioritize generator or grid-tie input while falling back to inverter for true independence.
"Switched to this relay after dealing with clunky manual setups—now my power transitions are invisible, and my batteries last longer." – Typical user feedback from mobile power forums.
Streamlined Installation Tips
Setting up the relay is straightforward for DIYers with basic electrical knowledge. Mount it securely near your inverter, connect the GFCI plug to the PROwatt SW, and wire the input from your shore power breaker and output to your panel. Always prioritize safety: turn off all power sources, use appropriately sized wire (14 AWG recommended for 15A), and secure connections with torque specs matching marine-grade standards. Test the system under load to confirm smooth switching—shore power in should bypass the inverter entirely.
Pro Tip: Label your wires clearly (e.g., "Shore In," "Inverter Out," "Load") to make future troubleshooting a breeze. If you're new to AC wiring, pair it with a multimeter check for voltage drop post-install.
