Ensure that the total of the selected load circuits fed by this transfer switch are within the generator's rated capacity.
The following requirements apply to this type of isolation system:
•The Automatic Transfer Switch is installed after the main distribution panel.
•The Automatic Transfer Switch has a load rating of 50 Amps. This is the maximum load rating of the essential loads.
All wiring must conform to national, state and local codes.
