Product Features

Automatic Source Switching

The STS-30 features automatic switching between utility power and generator, inverter, or between generator and inverter. This flexibility makes it easy to maintain continuous power without manual intervention, providing peace of mind to users during outages.

Heavy-Duty Relay Design

Equipped with a robust Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) relay, the Samlex STS-30 ensures efficient switching of both the line and neutral connections. This design enhances durability and reliability, catering to heavy use and reducing the risk of failure.

DIP Switch Delay Control

With the integrated DIP switch, users can enable a time delay of 20 to 25 seconds when switching to generator power. This feature safeguards your equipment by allowing generators to reach stable operation before load transfer, preventing potential damage from sudden power surges.

Convenient Power Connection

The transfer switch comes with a standard North American power cord, allowing simple connection to 15 Amp NEMA5-15R receptacles on generators or inverters with an 1800 VA capacity. For full 30 Amp capacity, users can easily replace the cord with a larger one if needed.

Compact and Lightweight Design

Weighing only 4.4 lbs (2.0 kg) and featuring compact dimensions (8.4 x 9.0 x 3.2 inches), the STS-30 can be conveniently mounted without taking up excessive space. This makes it suitable for various installation locations, maintaining clean aesthetics while providing powerful performance.

How It Works

The Samlex STS-30 operates by seamlessly switching between two AC input sources, ensuring reliable power delivery to the household or equipment. With easy installation on either the line side of a main breaker panel or the load side to only switch dedicated circuits, the transfer switch is designed for versatility and practicality.

Input and Output Voltage Control

The device supports a steady input/output voltage of 120 VAC at 60 Hz, maintaining stable energy delivery for various types of electrical needs.

Operational Temperature Range

Built to operate efficiently within a temperature range of 0 – 40°C (32 – 104°F), the STS-30 functions reliably in a variety of environments, making it suitable for both residential and commercial applications.

Integrated Battery Charger Receptacle

Featuring a NEMA5-20R Duplex receptacle, this transfer switch allows for easy connection of battery chargers with a max of 20A and 16A continuous output. This adds an extra layer of utility and convenience for users who need to maintain battery systems.
