Q:What minimum size generator would I need ?

Answer This Question
A:Â This switch is good for up to 100A. There is no minimum. The size of your generator, whether it's a 20A, or 40A or whatever, depends on what you plan to power during a power outage. Also keep in mind that your utility supplies 240V split phase thats divided into two 120V lines. If you buy a single phase 120V generator you'll have to feed it into both
lines into your home. That means your stove, water heater, dryer, or any other 240V appliance will not work. I have a 30A single phase generator to power my refrigerator, run a couple lamps and my TV.

A:Â 8,000 - 10,000 watts

A:Â Mine is wired to a 12KW solar electric system. 10-325 watt panels, a 250 volt dc charge controller, and 2-6000 watt inverters on one side. And a 33KW diesel generator on the other. Assuming you are trying to run a house, or at least specific loads in a house, the size of the generator has to be matched to the load(s). A few lights, fridge, and some outlets 4KW. The entire house with AC/Furnace, etc anywhere from 7KW to 20W+.

A: I would say a 120v/240v 6,000 watt generator with a 30 amp 120v/240v with neutral and ground receptacle on the generator if your just wanting to use this transfer switch outside to take care of inside panel in emergency situations . You would use inside two pole breaker located on your outside box take that feed to load side of transfer switch then run cable from same breaker to line side of transfer switch to complete the circuit to be in normal position up to get power back on . Then set a 50 amp weather proof twist lock receptacle under transfer switch and run cable to bottom load side of the transfer switch so in an emergency switch lever down . Make sure generator is running before you transfer to emergency so that you will  have full 120v/240v . You will also have to buy or make the correct cord wire size and length from generator preferably protected from weather hazards to your hook up. Then after emergency is over and you have normal power back on transfer back to normal up position then shut generator off . Hope this information was helpful cause I could write a book and explain more since I am an electrician but your original question was minimum size generator but if you live up North probably want to get 15,000 watt generator with a 50 amp hook up to help in colder weatherÂ

Solid transfer switch
Gauge is thick, hefty for its size. I use it between my main panel and sub panel that feed critical circuits. In my case its main purpose is for maintenance, if I have to service my inverter or batteries I can transfer back to main panel.

GE100 Amp No-fuse Emergency Power Transfer Switch
After researching ways to hook up my portable generator to my home this product was by far the easiest way of disconnecting my utility service and allowing me to hook up my generator. No need for rewiring the electrical panel's or moving circuits around. Install, then turn on only needed circuits your generator will support. Easy to install with 3-gauge copper wire for 100 amps, add generator hook up socket, then your good for next power outage.

Home Depot had the best price for this product and it works great.
So i installed a new 30kw genset and just wanted a less expensive correct way to switch power to the house. This did the job and was easy to install and worked perfectly.

We live in South Texas and have our share of hurricanes. In addition, the Texas power grid has not been winterized as recommended in a previous study over ten years. This failure by our state government led to massive power outages throughout the state during the Texas freeze in March of 2021. Hundreds of Texans died because they were unable to keep themselves warm. The Texas freeze was a horrible experience one I hope never to experience again. For these reasons my wife and I decided to install a manual transfer switch with a generator plug.
The 100 amp transfer switch works exactly as it was designed. I did not want to spend a substantial amount of money for an automatic transfer switch which can easily reach a couple of thousand of dollars. I spent less than three hundred dollars on the hardware and all I need to do is plug in the generator and pull the lever to the down position. My only regret, was that I used a 30 amp plug and will probably switch it to a 50 amp plug should I decide to buy a bigger generator. We have a small home, and had already purchased a 6500 Kilowatt (Running rating) 30 amp plug connector. However, electrician, made sure to use the proper gauged wire in order to accommodate a 50 amp plug in the future.
The installation took approximately three hours. I strongly encourage everyone to make sure all permits from the city are obtained and verified. You should also make sure if inspections by the city and the power company will be necessary prior to the re-connection of main power-line. Document who you spoke to regarding post inspections. We encountered issues with post installation inspections and had no electricity for two days.

I have this on my 5th wheel between a breaker box and a 13k generator. Works great. Wife has no issue with power at any time.
Made labels for the direction of the handle on the box. RV can ONLY be powered by one or the other. NO BACK FEED into power grid no harm workers on power lines. I HAVE recommended this to friends many times... AND STILL DO

It's a transfer switch, nothing fancy just a 100 Amp manual transfer switch. The housing is solid and is a good size so there is plenty of room for the wiring.
