Hi all, Hoping someone can confirm something for me. In the attached image you can see a 50 amp transfer switch I'd like to install on the left and the primary breaker panel to the right.
The transfer switch includes six 15amp breakers. However, the cover panel says that each is a max of 20amp. You can see in my primary breaker panel that I have more 20amp breakers than 15amp. Is it going to be a problem connect the 15amp breaker in my Transfer switch to a 20amp breaker in my primary panel? It seems like I should be able to do that, but I'd like some certainty. Not to muddy the waters, but why would that write 15 on the breaker itself, but then indicate max is 20. Is that common?
Also, the transfer switch comes with a bi-pole 20amp and 30amp breaker. It looks like I can remove the brass rod and use them individually, but the breakers themselves still operate in tandem. Any thoughts on how I can use them?
Thank you very much for any thoughts you might have.
