If you have a 450Kw generator with circuit breaker, then install cables to a outside mounted 1600A enclosed circuit breaker and then install conduit and wiring to another 1600A enclosed circuit breaker, the from there too bus tap the buildings main switchboard. Using kirk key system to ensure no backfeed. Can all the circuit breaker have GFCI? Is there a requirement that there be GFCI anywhere in this series of breakers?

What is the system voltage? Note the term GFCI is not correct for this application. GFCI is reserved for the 4-6 mA people protection. This would be GFP or GFPE.
