May 2, 20197 yr As I browse Powerforum and read more on inverters and solar power the subject becomes more daunting, but we will prevail. As I will use Eskom to augment where solar is not enough (using the inverter) what happens when the inverter fails? That is when the inverter must be bypassed, and all power must come from Eskom. Will the proposed setup shown in the attached figure work using a Finder 66.82.8.230.0000 General Purpose Relay

The relay appears to be suitably rated, but a contactor can sit on a DIN rail inside your DB and is probably just a little bit less hacky 😉
May 2, 20197 yr you could get away with a 3kva inverter 24V with that size load. Save some money for a proper contactor as mentioned by plonkster
May 5, 20197 yr Author As I have said before each question just leads to more questions Have been trying to find a contactor to use and the result is on google " Viewing 61 - 80 of 4555 products" Any suggestions what contactor (ac switching) specifficaly to look for?

I explain how to do that here, mostly by pointing to other sources. Alterntively, look for a 2NO/2NC 4-pole contactor, eg this, then wire to contacts together to turn it into a DPDT configuration.
