<p>Jason, You may want XW pro. It is not much more than XW+ and will have a better support for what you want in your microgrid. It also has twice the warranty over xw+.</p>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">That is what I was thinking, but how will the contactor coils "know" when the ATS switches to inverter power. I'm thinking I need to use an AUX relay or a series of relays to produce the desired result. I don't think it will be necessary when going from solar to generator in this case, but maybe. I guess the question is how to activate the time delay any time the ATS switches over. That would be the easiest solution maybe.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm probably looking at a quad Conext XW+ system here. Even at over 100A @ 240V continuous rating I'm anticipating some startup issues with all those motors (I forgot to mention well and pressure pumps also!)</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In an off-grid situation I'm looking for a strategy to manage transfer from generator power to inverter power because I have a lot of high startup load appliances planned for a system. Think 8 mini-refrigerators, one sub-z large refrigerator, and an under-cabinet ice maker, not to mention air conditioning. I would like to start these loads in stages if they all call to start up immediately upon system startup or during ATS switch over. Any ideas?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I guess while I'm on the subject I should ask about my eye-roll, keep-me-up-a-night, giving-me-heartburn problem with this ice maker. It's going to be outdoors in Florida and they expect it to make 25-50 pounds of ice per day. I am finding it really hard to estimate energy use for this appliance. Any ideas (other than the obvious "don't do it" answer)?</div>
