With a furnace and pump I'd wonder if 40 amps is enough. I wouldn't go any less than 40 though. ----- Original Message ----- From: RJ To: Handyman Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 2:44 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Transfer switch
I am planning on putting in a transfer switch and sub-panel for my generator that is a 5.7 K or running at 55700 watts. Should I put in a 30 amp or forty amp transfer switch with a 6 circuit panel. What I will be placing in the sub-panel is a circuit for each of the following. refrigerator, freezer, sump pump, furnace, and a 220 well pump. I am not planning on running all the above at one time, while running the generator. I will be placing a circuit breaker in the main to hook up the transfer switch and removing the above circuits for the appliances from the main box and placing them in the sub-panel.
