Installation and Owner’s Manual

ESSENTIAL CIRCUIT

Ensure that the total of the selected load circuits fed by this transfer switch are within the generator's rated capacity.

ISOLATION

Essential electrical loads are loads that will be powered by the Standby Generator System. Essential loads are grouped together and wired into the transfer switch.

TO THE INSTALLER: Consult with Standby Generator System owner(s) to discuss their “Selection of Essential Circuits”, described in owner’s manual.

Figure 2 — Typical System Diagram with Essential Circuits

The following requirements apply to this type of isolation system:

•The Manual Transfer Switch is installed after the main distribution panel.

•The Manual Transfer Switch has a load rating of 60 Amps. This is the maximum load rating of the essential loads.

All wiring must conform to national, state and local codes.

The illustration in Figure 2 depicts the Standby Generator System and assumes the utility is supplying 120/240 Volt, single-phase electrical service.
