Hello All, Daren from Alberta here I was wondering if I could possibly get some suggestions on this. I have a 12-year-old 7 KVA Briggs and Stratton stand-by Generator running through a 50 amp Briggs and Stratton Automatic Transfer Switch. Each of my neighbors also have a standby generator and...

Hi all, I recently upgraded my generator from 30A to 50A, and am looking to upgrade my transfer switch setup. My current setup is: 10 circuit transfer switch fed from a 60A breaker in the main panel, with a lockout 30A breaker for the generator feed. Generator feed is an L14-30 inlet on the...

Quick question, if I may. I want to add a sub panel and use it as a transfer switch. If I am running number six AWG to a 30 A receptacle (PB 30), which I am doing so the customer can easily upgrade her generator when she decides to do that, can I protect the number six with a 60 A breaker, or do...

I am having a problem with an ATS that is tied in to a corner grounded delta system from utility power. When 1 pump is running, generator works like a champ. When 2 pumps are running, the ATS is constantly switching between utility and generator power. I am new to this kind of wiring system...
