A UPS doesn't switch. Its battery is being charged or not but the output is always driving the loads.

yes, a UPS is the only way to truly have uninterrupted power.

Exactly so yours does the same..what brand inverter do u have?
The transfer switches are the Xantrex 15amp Auto Transfer Relays:

So I did a Lil test I had the inverter on n turned tv on.. Then I turned on the gen n waited for the gen to convert over.. When it converted over to gen the TV shut off..then I did the opposite.. Had the gen on n inverter turned off.. Had tv on.. Then I turned inverter on n shut down the gen.. Same results
