I would like to know if I can use 2 10 circuit tranfer switch boxes with 2 seperate portable generators, I have a 150Amp panel (40 cicuits) and I want to connect 2 generators 1 to each transfer switch having 10 cicuits each.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks Roach
I do not have any specifics really about the application except that my frriend would like to use 2 seperate generators at his house to power the house when there is a power outage.
My concern is this: can you connect 2 generators with two seperate transfer switch boxes (1 generator to each transfer box using these at 1 150 amp panel

Read this thread. It even has a pic of what you are talking about.

I missed the "10 circuit" part of the original post. Thank you!GoldDigger,
It reads as if he has the switches shown in the picture. Or at least something similar.
I really don't like the idea of multiple transfer switches. How will you prevent back-feeding? How will you synchronize the waveforms?
Only an arrangement where each panel can be fed by only two sources, on an either-or arrangement, would work. I don't see any way to have three spurces of power available to the same panel.
Thanks all of the info has been very helpful. I would have preffered him to just get one larger Genn. but he is who he is.
Can anyone tell me why I need to use a manual transfer switch box as opposed to automatic?
To recap , we will use the main panel and add a subpanel , one transfer box at each panel (Main & Subpanel) both panels will be 150 amps
we will have one Genn connecting to each reliance auto transfer switch (10 circuits) each
Each transfer switch will have seperate loads.
Genn supply will be 2 T30 plugs (1 to each transfer box.
Any thoughts , especially concerning manual vs: auto transfer box?

Ok , I read 702.5 . Maybe I am missing something but I still don't understand why I need to use manual transfer switch boxes rather than automatic?
