This requires a exterior outlet and feed from that outlet to the system. This cost depending on length of wire and amperage size will add approx. $1000 to your initial cost.

The reason for asking is most 30 amp 240 volt outputs are not GFCI protected. We are trying to help someone with a 150 that would like to incorporate that feed into a sub panel. When that happens the transfer switch has to switch both legs and the neutral to avoid the GFCI tripping. Thank You

Mike Go to the local electrical supply house and tell them you are looking for a 100 amp Non service 3 phase TRANSFER SWITCH. Center position off. The reason you need 100 amps is because the sub panel has a 80 amp feed and they don't make 80 amp transfer switches. Its inside so you don't...

We don't own a 150 but we are looking for information regarding output voltages and GFCI monitoring. A) 240 volt 30 amp output..is this monitored by GFCI? We are assuming the 125 volt 20 amp output is GFCI but not the 240 volt 30 amp correct?? B) Has anyone bonded their output to the neutral...

Mike , I answered this but I would be happy to give you some more advise if you PM me...can you do that on here??

You need to be real careful giving out advice like that... without knowing the actual set up ignoring the interlock could be a problem. That is why going to a subpanel is cleaner. In addition there is the issue of what is the 150 capable of putting out and what does the individual want to run?

No it's all good. You need a 3pole switch which would not be run of the mill, but certainly available, most are 2 pole. Stick with a company that has been in business like Siemens >>>> Remember don't let anyone sell you a switch without a center position OFF. You must have a label for approval...

30 amp outlet most likely is not GFCI protected

Mike So here is the big issue always >>> GFCI which is what monitors the output on the 150 will NOT allow anything downstream to be connected to neutral ( not ground just neutral & Hot) The GFCI basically monitors any type of leakage, be it on the neutral or hot leg. You will always...

Here is some info, maybe this will help. There are two types of generators or battery power systems made in the USA and Canada. Bonded neutrals and Floating neutrals systems. The catch is how they get connected and does that connection meet the NEC (national electrical code). Interaction with...

No transfer switch isolates the ground. Neutrals and grounds are not the same thing. Some transfer switches have the ability to switch the neutrals for bonded neutral generators and to work with GFCI outlets.

Just a FYI: Connecting ground to neutral in any other location other than the first means of disconnect ( your main panel) is a NEC code violation. Here's why...its a big safety issue, You created a new path for neutral to return to the source. Neutral can ONLY be bonded to ground at the...

Thru the wall kit is a way of getting your power split to several "plug in only" items. Furnaces are not included in this application. Just a FYI on the cords. Use ONLY the length you need (not a 50' when you need a 25") also try and use 12 gauge cords.
