yes.. only 10amp, its a 1200w continuous use, 1200w/120vac=10amp
why should the pass thru TS be larger than the output load of the inverter ?
( so someone would be tempted to carry a larger hard wired load, larger than they should, and the inverter give an overload fail when it is needed ? )
im not using it anyway...
Since you aren't using the pass thru it doesn't matter but it seems small.
I will be installing a Xantrex inverter/charger in a friends rig and even though it is 2000 watts the transfer switch is 30a.
Not sure how they work, but when on 30 amp shore power, don't you want all 30 to pass through? Then if the actual inverter itself is only 20a or whatever that's all you get for off-grid.
