Seamless Grid-to-Backup Transfer in 50 Milliseconds

The Schneider Electric Backup Control Switch (BCS) is a field-tested, weatherproof automatic transfer switch built for serious off-grid and backup power setups. When paired with XW Pro inverters, it disconnects from the grid the moment an outage hits — 50 ms fast — and routes backup power straight to your home. This grid-independent switch supports up to four XW Pro inverters, delivering up to 27 kW continuous and 48 kW peak backup power. NEMA Type 3R rated and built-to-survive outdoor installation, it handles 200 A service entrance loads without compromise. UL certified for USA installations.

Never Go Dark When the Grid Fails

Never Go Dark When the Grid Fails

Grid-tied solar systems are the worst kind of false security — the moment the utility drops, your house goes dark too. The Schneider BCS eliminates that problem entirely by automatically severing the grid connection within 50 milliseconds and routing power from your XW Pro inverter bank to your critical loads. At Off Grid Vault, every component we carry is pre-vetted for real compatibility. This switch is engineered to communicate directly with XW Pro inverters, so there is no guesswork about whether your transfer switch will actually perform when the outage hits.

Rated for Full Service Entrance Loads

Rated for Full Service Entrance Loads

The BCS-2200 is rated for 200 Amps at 120/240 VAC single phase, meaning it handles full service entrance loads — not just a few convenience circuits. Mount it at your main panel and it becomes the single point where grid power ends and your self-reliant system begins. The NEMA Type 3R enclosure is field-tested for outdoor installation in rain, snow, and direct sun, so you do not need to build a shelter around it. At 30 lb with top or bottom feed options, installation flexibility is built into the physical design.

Expand Your Inverter Capacity Without Replacing Hardware

Expand Your Inverter Capacity Without Replacing Hardware

Start with one XW Pro inverter and add more as your power needs grow. The BCS-2200 supports up to four XW Pro units, delivering up to 27 kW continuous and 48 kW peak backup power — enough to run well pumps, central air, and shop equipment simultaneously during an outage. That scalability means you invest once in the transfer infrastructure and expand your inverter capacity on your timeline. This is off-grid proven architecture from Schneider Electric, a brand with decades of track record in residential and commercial power systems.

“I paired this with two XW Pro inverters on my homestead in northern Michigan. When the ice storm knocked out the grid for three days last February, my house never skipped a beat — lights, well pump, fridge, all running like nothing happened. The 50 ms transfer is real. Installation was straightforward for my electrician once we had the layout planned.”

Frequently Asked Questions

The BCS-2200 is designed specifically for Schneider Electric XW Pro inverters. It communicates directly with that inverter platform to manage the automatic transfer between grid and backup power. If you are running a different inverter brand, contact Off Grid Vault for a free system design consultation — we will match you with the correct transfer switch for your architecture.
The BCS-2200 connects to your 200 Amp service entrance, which requires a licensed electrician in most jurisdictions. This is not a DIY plug-and-play component — it is a critical infrastructure device that must be installed to code. Off Grid Vault provides free system design consultation to help you and your electrician plan the installation correctly before you purchase.
A manual transfer switch requires you to be home, awake, and willing to go outside during a storm to flip a switch. The BCS-2200 transfers automatically in 50 milliseconds — your lights, refrigerator, and medical equipment never see the interruption. For whole-home backup at this amperage, automatic transfer is the only practical choice for true grid-independent operation.
No. The $2,048.95 price is for the Backup Control Switch (BCS-2200) only. XW Pro inverters are sold separately. If you need a complete backup system — inverter, batteries, panels, and transfer switch — request a free system design consultation from Off Grid Vault and we will spec the full package with guaranteed component compatibility.
The BCS-2200 carries the full Schneider Electric manufacturer warranty. As an authorized Schneider dealer, Off Grid Vault handles warranty claims directly — you are not routed through a ticket queue or a third-party marketplace. If a component does not perform as specified within the warranty period, we manage the process on your behalf.
The BCS-2200 is rated for 120/240 VAC single phase. If your home has a standard residential panel with both 120V and 240V circuits — which includes most well pumps, dryers, and central air — this switch covers your full service entrance. For 120V-only applications, a different transfer solution would be more appropriate.
