NOTE: If Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) circuit breakers, Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters, or Surge Protector Circuit Breakers
were used as the branch circuit protector in the main load center, they MUST be used in the transfer switch. Because these circuit
breakers typically take up more than one space, the overall maximum number of circuits may be reduced from the number shown.
2.6 — Planning Your Installation
1. Determine the appliances, circuits or equipment you want to operate with generator power during a power out-
age, such as:
• Refrigerator/Freezer
• Furnace Blower (gas/oil only)
TV / Radio
•
• Lighting
Water Heater
•
2. Determine the amps required for each appliance by reading the label on the appliance. IMPORTANT: No appli-
ance should have an amperage rating that exceeds the GEN MAIN breaker rating in the transfer switch (See
Table 1). The total amperage of all circuits can exceed the generator rating, but not all circuits will be able to be
used concurrently.
3. Assign the circuit # in the load center to a circuit (A2, B2, etc.) in the transfer switch matching the size of the cir-
cuit breaker in the load center to the circuit breaker in the transfer switch. Once you've determined which cir-
cuits you want to connect and the appropriate amperage, you will be ready to begin installing your transfer
switch.
4. The location of your load center/electrical panel in your home or business will determine where the transfer
switch will be installed.
