Surge protection circuit breakers in the manual transfer switch. See list of compatible breakers below.

White, green, black and red THHN or MTW wire, 10 AWG, 300V rated
Switched Neutral Kit (Model 6297). If your portable generator has the neutral bonded to the frame of the generator, you will need to install the
Switched Neutral Kit accessory with your transfer switch.
NOTE: ON NEUTRAL BONDED GENERATORS: Some portable generators are intended for use on jobsites, and therefore are subject to
OSHA regulations for GFCI protection on all receptacles. These "contractor grade" generators have their neutral wire bonded to the
ground wire to pass OSHA inspection on job sites, and when connected to a transfer switch, this may cause nuisance tripping of the
generator GFCI breaker. If you're using a neutral bonded generator to power a house or building through a transfer switch, then deter-
mine if the neutral bond wire on the generator can be disabled without voiding the warranty, preferably by a dealer or a qualified elec-
trician. NOTE: After this action, the generator will no longer pass OSHA inspection on job sites. Consult the manufacturer of your
generator to determine if the neutral bond can be removed. If it can be disabled, then no modifications to your transfer switch installa-
tion are needed. If the neutral bond cannot be disabled or voids the generator warranty, you must install a Switched Neutral Kit (model
6297) accessory with your transfer switch.
