Hello All,
As stated in the title, I have an 11kw Generac Guardian with the Evolution controller (bought in 2015) and a 200 AMP Automatic Transfer Switch (model: RTSR200A3 ). I now have a SolArk 12k with a small battery bank - 9.6kwh.
I finished doing the connection for the 2-wire remote start. I did not alter anything from the original Generator connection to the ATS. I still have to connect the inverter's GEN cables to the ATS' generator terminals. What I did was a test using the "FORCE GEN" Function to make sure it works fine.
When testing, I noticed that the ATS transferred to it's GEN position. I was made to believe that once the 2-wire function is enabled, the generator would not force the ATS as it would be akin to pressing the "MANUAL" start button on the generator. Is this normal behavior? Have any of you had experience working this integration with the SolArk?
I was hoping it would not transfer the ATS so all the GEN power would flow through the inverter where I can monitor/control how much I can use for charging batteries and power the home simultaneously without overloading the generator...
From the line-diagram below, the connection node where the GEN output is distributed to the inverter and the ATS is done at the ATS' terminals (200 amp rated).
I also realize I can disconnect the "Transfer" cable from the ATS and it should not transfer the ATS to it's GEN position, But I need to test that to be sure. I wouldn't like to mess with the ATS original wiring if I can help it.
