Essential Circuit Isolation
Essential electrical loads are loads that will be powered by
the Home Generator System. Essential loads are grouped
together and wired into the transfer switch.
TO THE INSTALLER: Consult with Home Generator System
owner(s) to discuss their “Selection of Essential Circuits”,
described in the operator’s manual.
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.
