Who's Responsible?

Charlie,
I understand what you are saying.
The main point I was trying to make is that if you are using a manual switch(or an interlock) the generator is not required to handle all of the load it is hooked to.

Now I see what you are saying but, If I were only going to supply one 20 amp circuit with a manual transfer switch I wouldn't bother with article 220.

But you did bother. :grin: Just print out a copy of your post from this forum, sign it, and call it your article 220 calculation.

So make a list of what is hooked up, annotate it somehow to show which loads will (or will not) be running at the same time, sign the list, and that is your 220 calculation.

(Another option: Send me a very large fee, and I will sign the list for you. :grin: )

But now that I have bothered, who do I call in the middle of a catastrophic event to tell them that my generator is running and I am going to add a load to my original 220 calculation? I certainly do not want to be a code violating criminal. :grin:
