THOR RV Transfer Switches

The need to switch or transform power from AC to DC or vice versa is quite common in electrical systems having a battery, like in those installed in recreational vehicles and boats. While batteries can produce direct current only, most appliances and home air conditioners require AC 120V, and you can get this energy from the source of shore power or an inverter that transforms DC 12 or 24V into alternating current. A wide range of reliable, practical, and innovative power solutions is offered by Thor Manufacturing, the company from Florida whose commitment to excellence and deep knowledge allow it to design highly competitive products, including automatic transfer switches.

Available in 30A and 50A versions, these useful devices by Thor allow for automatic switching between different sources of energy, like shore power and battery or generator. As for inverters, the company manufactures both modified and pure sine wave models; the latter have a higher price but can be required for some categories of sensitive electronics. Rated at different output wattage, many Thor inverters are offered in kits. Designed for easy installation, such kits also include DC cables, a battery isolator, a fuse, a remote, and some hardware.
