Talk:Transfer switch

message: I believe what Wtshymanski deleted was useful information for hundreds of potential readers.  I wrote it after losing power for 5 days and going through the process of evaluating and selecting a transfer switch to work with a generator.  If someone wants to remain ignorant they can just hire an electrician to buy and install one for them.  However I'm an Electrical Engineer and wanted to learn about them myself.  After I did, I thought it would be good to share what I'd learned.  Where else could someone learn about this?  I couldn't find any good source when I needed it.  
The material wasn't a "Parts List" like Wtshymanski rants about on his/her page as not belonging.  Wtshymanski, request that undo your deletions.  
(Forgive me in advance if I don't check this page again soon; I'm pretty busy with my regular full time job).

replies: text: That was a very short edit comment, I'm sorry.  What I should have noted was that Wikipedia is not  a how-to guide. Specific recommendations and tips on the sizing, selection, and installation of a transfer switch are outside the scope of an encyclopedia article. You could put it in a Wiki book, instead.  --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:47, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Use a three-way transfer switch. They are often designed for boats where they switch between generator, inverter (battery/solar) and shore power (example example2). Or you could use multiple transfer switches, one between the two generators and one between the other transfer switch and shore power.

message: How do large campuses operate transfer switches, especially when there are non-critical loads that don't need transfer in each building? Do they use transfer switches in each building or separate electrical systems back to one transfer switch? Or do they have a separate generator and transfer switch for each building?
Also can we have more detail in the article about transfer switches that do load shedding - I've seen some info on these but how do they integrate with the system?

thread_title: Static Transfer Switches

message: I came to this Wikipedia article to see if power to devices was lost momentarily when using a transfer switch. The article mentions soft transfer switches without giving this as a definition, since it mentions that this type of switch needs to synchronize the power from the other source and can ramp up/down from the other source. Is there a term for a transfer switch that does not momentarily lose power when switching? Or does it depend on the transfer switch? Is there something specific I would look for in the labeling of the transfer switch to know if power would be lost momentarily? I probably won't come back, but I wanted to let you know where I personally thought this article needs more information. Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:182:C680:1450:38B8:61B8:7765:6DE (talk) 01:39, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
