A transfer switch is commonly used in a motor home where you have 2 sets of batteries. One for the house and the other for the motor. The transfer switch is used for 2 reasons. One is for charging the batteries. The transfer switch allows the charger to change the motor home batteries, then transfers to the house batteries. The second function is for starting the motor home. Should the motor home batteries be too low to start the MH, you push the switch and it connects both banks of batteries together to start the MH.
