STEP BY STEP  TRANSFER SWITCH SELECTION

Select a generator first. The generator is the most important part of the system. Many decisions you have to make about a transfer switch are dependent on the generator you select.

If you need assistance selecting a generator, click Step By Step Basic Generator Information (Buying A Generator, Considerations)

Features?

These switches are for use with the automatic standby generators we sell (or in some cases portable generators) and should be installed by a qualified electrician or electrical contractor.  Local permits may be required. Remember that the transfer switch current rating must be at least high enough to carry full rated load of your generator.  It also must match or exceed the current rating of the upstream breaker or fuse protection that will supply normal utility power.  Most jurisdictions do not require the transfer device to switch the neutral.  Therefore these prices do not include the extra pole for that purpose.  If your local codes or application requires the neutral to be switched contact us for a special quote.
