My electrician says I need a transfer switch for my EcoFlow power station, but what exactly does this EcoFlow ATS do and do I *really* need one to power my home during an outage?

The EcoFlow Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) acts like a smart switch for your power. When your main power goes out, it automatically and quickly switches your connected appliances over to your EcoFlow power station (like a RIVER or DELTA series). This means you don't have to manually unplug things and plug them into your power station during an outage – the ATS handles it seamlessly. While you *could* manually switch things over, the ATS ensures a consistent power supply with a very fast transfer time (just 0.2 seconds) and it's essential for preventing potential surges that could harm your sensitive electronics like computers or TVs. It’s the safest and most convenient way to integrate your EcoFlow power station into your home's essential circuits during a blackout.

I'm a bit confused about the installation. Do I need to get a special box for this EcoFlow ATS, and can I just use any outlet for backup power?

Yes, for safety and to prevent electric shocks, the ATS should definitely be installed inside a protective enclosure or box. While the ATS unit itself doesn't come with one, EcoFlow provides recommended dimensions and material guidelines (look for high-quality, waterproof, and durable polycarbonate) to help you choose a suitable one. Your electrician will know exactly what's needed. Regarding backup power, the ATS is designed to work with your EcoFlow power station. You’ll need to discuss with your electrician which essential circuits (like fridge, lights, or Wi-Fi router) are best to connect to the ATS, keeping in mind the total power draw and the capacity of your specific EcoFlow model. High-consumption appliances like ovens or water heaters are usually best left off the backup circuit to avoid overloading.

This ATS's switching life is rated for 1500 times. What happens if it reaches that limit, and is it safe to use in my home in New Zealand, especially with potential power fluctuations or different grid frequencies?

The 1500-switch lifespan means that after approximately 1500 transfers between your main power and backup power, the ATS might start to show wear and tear and may not switch as reliably. It's designed for consistent use, but like any mechanical device, it has a limit. Regarding safety in New Zealand, the ATS is designed to operate safely within a standard voltage range (AC185V-280V) and works with the standard 50Hz frequency used here. It's also compatible with 60Hz grids if you ever move or travel. The unit is built with V0-grade flame-retardant materials for added safety, and it's designed to handle minor power fluctuations by having that 0.2-second transfer time, which actually helps protect your appliances from surges rather than causing them. Of course, always ensure it's installed by a qualified electrician as per local regulations.

Truly Versatile

I'm not sure what the 1* reviewer is referring to as I use my River 2 completely off grid. I have used it with great effect whilst 'hot tenting' and in the camper van setting. If you don't read the instructions, you're bound to not use this WONDERFUL device to it's full potential. The River 2 is a great combination of power to weight ratio and provides an awesome experience all round. I use it with solar panel when stationery and the vehicles 12v outlet otherwise.

Thanks Andrew! Really appreciate you sharing your real-world experience with the RIVER 2. Great to hear it’s performing well for hot tenting and camper van use, especially paired with solar and 12V charging. Thanks again for the detailed feedback and support!

Ran a whole wedding!

When my son arranged his wedding for a tranquil field in Matakana, far from any power, I'd wondered how the birdsong would compete with a diesel generator. A single EcoFlow Delta Pro whispered my concerns away. There was enough power in a single charge to run 12+ hours of microphones, music & lights for 150 people. I hadn't realised how far battery technology had come!

Thanks Greg! What an awesome use of the DELTA Pro — sounds like a beautiful wedding setup. Glad it delivered clean, quiet power all day without the need for a generator. Really appreciate you sharing this!

Delta 3 and folding solar panel.

Hi, Delta 3 unit just arrived with foldable solar panels. Delayed delivery over Easter break. Will pair it with my delta2 for emergency backup power.
EXCELLENT thank you Andrea at Rustic Beachfront Cottage Charleston. NZ

Thanks Andrea! Glad your DELTA 3 and solar panel arrived safely, even with the Easter delay. Great plan pairing it with your DELTA 2 for backup — appreciate your support!
