That's a pity. I was hoping to have my transfer switch set-up with an excluded circuit.
Never mind, the power outages are so rare i don't think i will lose sleep over it.
I think i will hold off on getting a transfer switch installed, at least until the power outages become more frequent. Several times a year instead of the current several times a decade. Until then I will just keep using an extension lead from the UPS in the garage to the lounge room. Then into a power board for running the TV, some lamps and most importantly the ADSL modem and computer. Just so i can keep getting my ecomodder fix.
