Wrenches, For a grid-tied-with-backup system that is still in the design stage, we have a customer request for a signal to let them know when an outage occurs and they are running on backup power, so that they may turn off unnecessary loads and "go into backup consciousness". The problem is that the entire home would be on backup, with the GTWB system tied into a meter and main disconnect location away from the home, rather than the more typical main panel/subpanel approach at the home. Any relay-based alarm based on loss of grid AC would not likely trigger, as the switchover is too quick. Any ideas for simple solutions, please? Allan --
