Generac Guardian whole-house back-up series is available with a Nexus transfer switch – 100 and 200 Amp sizes. This Kohler panel looks like a good idea as it would allow for changes. we lost power this winter for days on more than one occasion.
most are short and nothing I would want to get a generator to overcome. Power interruptions in my area are not uncommon. This is the normal retrofit for those wanting to add a generator in my area. My origin plan: Main panel and then have an automatic transfer switch and sub-panel for the generator loads. My neighbor had to cycle his large generator this year because he was not guaranteed propane delivery - 1000 gallon tank for heat/ cooking/ dryer/ generator. The cost to run large generators on Propane can be staggering. The easiest setup: Get a big enough generator to do the whole house and just pay the propane price for the weakly tests and the times I need the generator. need it to work when I am not at the house. I need the system to be completely automatic.
The panels are called Intelligent transfer switch panels - they are for Kohler generators. Like the "some circuits" add-on panel it is a manual process, but I can run everything in the house and just shut off the A/C for example. This is the most economical, and what I have now. Uses one of those double-throw panels and moves only specified circuits off the main panel/ don't like these and don't see the point - it's a manual process, so why not use an interlock and be able to switch anything in the house on?ģ. Use a quality transfer switch independent of the panel.
(QO and Homeline both have interlock kits, I am assuming the rest of the major brands do as well, but go with Square D either way )ġ. None of which are really dependent on the panel you select. There are 3 basic options for a transfer switch. Have since replaced my main panel, and done several things at the top of the main panel (bringing in a 2-2-2-4 SER for a subpanel for example) that I felt more comfortable having the whole thing de-energized. I did this when my service entrance cable failed and needed to be replaced. simply hit the disconnect switch and have at it in the luxury of safety! When it comes time to add a transfer switch, replace your main panel, service the main breaker, etc. Install a disconnect switch under your meter and feed your main panel from it.
