Yeti 1250 30Amp Output?
We have a whole home Generac system, but there are times we really don't want to run it at night, or even all day unless it's extremely hot or cold.
I have had my Yeti 1250 for many years and it has saved us from powerless situations more than once even as recently as last week when I had to pull the fridge out to plug into the Yeti over night, so thank you!
I know of the home integration kit, but I am looking to expand my capacity with at least 2 tanks and a manual transfer switch for at most 8 circuits, 1 for each furnace, 1 for the fridge, and each bedroom for lights and fan. This would really be for over nights when we don't want to disturb the neighbors with generator noise, but still have some comfort and not lose food. We can recharge when the generator is running and I also have solar panels.
The question is, is there a 30Amp output from the 1250 that can be connected to a standard manual transfer switch?
Thanks in advance
Phil

The Yeti 1250 is not able to output 30 amps through the AC port.
- AC inverter (output, pure sine wave): 110VAC 60Hz, 10A (1200W continuous, 1500W surge max)

Phil, did you see the newly launched PRO 4000? Were you looking for 120V or 240V?

This is my whole house system.
During a long-term power outage, we plan to run the generator 2-3 hours per day (mid-day) and use solar panels to help recharge the batteries.
Our critical circuits will use about 500 watts per hour. When the generator runs it will recharge the Yeti at 1800 watts / hr. and allow us to do all the normal big energy uses: baking, cooking, microwave, washing / drying clothes, dishwasher, etc.
Our critical circuits are for refrigerators, freezer, security system, routers, smoke detectors, certain lighting and outlets along the kitchen counter for small appliance use. Everything else is not critical.
This configuration will keep us going steady for about 7 days before the battery reaches zero. At that point we plan to run the gas generator longer.
