I have, connected to the "grid" with the inverter off, the power comes from the grid (rather obvious).
If I turn on the inverter, while connected to the grid, the power comes from the inverter.
So, when the inverter is on, power comes from the inverter, period. Even if you are still connected to the grid.
Thanks for the info. You do have it wired normally per the instructions correct?
I'll have to check that out next weekend when the FW comes out of storage to see if it is power seeking (stays on whatever source unless that source is lost) or normal seeking and if so which source is normal. I do know that the device can take power from either source and transfer. As an example when I get back from a boondocking trip the relay transfers to shore power without the inverter turned on and vice versa when arriving at boondocking site after being on shore power the relay transfers as soon as the inverter is turned on. Can't remember a time I have had both inverter and shore power at the same time so never observed what happens then.
