You've invested in the powerful Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus, but you're still running extension cords through windows and doors during outages. That's not just inconvenient - it's dangerous and violates electrical codes in most areas.
Without a proper transfer switch, you risk back-feeding power into the grid, which can electrocute utility workers trying to restore service. You could face serious legal liability, not to mention the fire hazards from overloaded household circuits.
The Jackery Manual Transfer Switch for Explorer 5000 Plus eliminates these risks with a code-compliant connection between your power station and home electrical panel. This professionally-installed switch gives you safe, legal backup power exactly when you need it.
The transfer switch physically disconnects your home from the utility grid before connecting generator power. This prevents dangerous back-feeding that could injure utility workers or damage your Explorer 5000 Plus. The mechanical interlock ensures both connections can never be active simultaneously.
A clearly marked lever lets you switch between utility and generator power in seconds. No complex controls or automatic sensors to fail. During an outage, simply start your Explorer 5000 Plus, flip the switch, and your selected circuits are powered.
Choose which circuits receive backup power during installation. Typically includes refrigerator, lights, furnace blower, and essential outlets. This targeted approach maximizes your power station's runtime by avoiding unnecessary loads like electric water heaters or air conditioning.
