Jackery Smart Transfer Switch – Automatic Home Backup Power Made Simple
Connect your Jackery backup battery system directly to your home's essential electrical circuits with the Jackery Smart Transfer Switch. Designed specifically for the Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus, this automatic transfer switch creates a seamless connection between utility power and stored battery energy, helping keep selected household circuits powered when the electrical grid goes down.
Instead of moving extension cords from appliance to appliance during an outage, the Smart Transfer Switch allows compatible circuits in your home's electrical panel to receive power from your Jackery system automatically. It supports up to 12 home load branches, giving you the flexibility to prioritize important household equipment such as refrigerators, lighting, networking equipment, sump pumps, and other compatible appliances.
Automatic Backup When the Grid Fails
The Smart Transfer Switch continuously monitors the connection to the electrical grid. When a power interruption is detected, it can automatically transition compatible circuits to the connected Jackery backup system.
With a specified UPS transfer time of 20ms or less, the system is designed to minimize interruptions for compatible connected equipment. The UPS functionality requires pairing with the Explorer 5000 Plus and activation through the Jackery app.
This makes the Smart Transfer Switch especially useful for homeowners looking for a more integrated home battery backup system rather than relying on manually connecting individual appliances during a blackout.
Designed for 120V & 240V Home Circuits
The Smart Transfer Switch supports 120V and split-phase 240V electrical circuits, allowing compatible household loads to be connected through the home's electrical panel. It can support up to 12 120V circuits or 6 240V circuits, with 120V and 240V circuits also able to be used together within the supported configuration.
The system supports a maximum 60A home-load output, while individual compatible circuits can support appliances up to 240V/30A and 7,200W, according to Jackery's specifications.
Smart Energy Management From Your Phone
The Smart Transfer Switch isn't simply an automatic backup device. With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, compatible smart-app features allow you to monitor your energy system, manage circuits, and adjust power settings remotely.
Jackery also describes a charging-and-discharging mode designed to help optimize when stored battery energy and grid electricity are used. This can allow the system to be incorporated into a broader home energy management strategy, rather than being used exclusively during emergencies.
A Key Component of a Complete Home Backup System
When paired with the Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus, the Smart Transfer Switch becomes the connection point between portable battery storage and selected household circuits. It can be integrated into a larger Jackery home backup setup and can support up to two Explorer 5000 Plus units simultaneously.
The NEMA Type 1 enclosure is intended for indoor or protected installation, and Jackery recommends professional electrical installation. Installation services may be available in designated areas, while customers can also use a certified electrician according to Jackery's installation guidance.
