What are transfer switches. The electrical engineer told me to purchase few AC transfer switches for our fish processing plant. I don't have any knowledge about power systems. When I searched online I found products ranging from $250 to $400. What is the actual use of this device? He also requested me to purchase two Stativolt inverters. Any advice?

Hi,

I think this is good definition from wikipedia: "Transfer Switch("")":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_switch. For the inverters, you need them to convert DC, which usually comes from batteries, to AC, those coming from Grids. Maybe you use solar panel perhaps, that is why you are requested to buy those.

Anyhow, hope it helps.

Kevin
