Abstract:
A power failure transfer switching system for use in conjunction with recreational vehicles, boats, and other transportable shelters comprising:a voltage monitoring assembly adapted for monitoring the levels of an incoming ac supply circuit; a power generating assembly for supplying an auxiliary source of ac power when said voltage monitoring assembly detects an inadequacy in supply from the incoming ac supply circuit; a control assembly operationally coupled to said voltage monitoring assembly and to said power generating assembly, said control assembly being for operating said power generating assembly when said voltage monitoring assembly detects an inadequacy in supply; wherein said control assembly further comprises: a main switch for enabling and disabling said power failure transfer switch system such that said power failure transfer switch system only operates when said main switch is in an enabled state; a lamp member coupled to said main switch such that when said main switch is in an enabled state said lamp member illuminates; a battery member for providing a dc voltage to operate said control assembly, said monitoring assembly, and a starter coupled to said generator assembly, said battery member facilitating operation when the ac line voltage is interrupted.
