I have been asked to design a standby system for our local power company. The have purchased a portable rated for 800A 208/120v 3Ph. They want to use the Gen to backup any of there 3 offices located in different towns. Town 1 being fairly easy I can install a Manual transfer switch on the load side of the 400A disconnect located on the exterior of the building, and set up some (2) 200A cord and plug connections. Towns 2 and 3 are a little more difficult, being 800A and 1500A services. My question is can I install a transfer switch upstream of the meter and would this involve installing another fused disconnect upstream of the transfer switches? Any advice and other option would be greatly appreciated!
