Re: [RE-wrenches] Alternative to the Dedicated Subpanel
Slow down a bit here... Years ago our utility outlawed the use of QO or QOU breakers with the QO2DTI or the QOU2DTI (they're different) because they weren't rated as (I think it was) service equipment, and the engineer decided it could be too easily forced into an on-on state, rather than either/or. That was years ago, and was specific to one utility. But you may want to make sure it'll be accepted by all parties before you use it.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Alternative to the Dedicated Subpanel
The QO2DTI is a great solution for transfer switching. To be code compliant, you need to use the main breaker retainer, sold separately (usually).

Re: [RE-wrenches] Alternative to the Dedicated Subpanel
Bill: We no longer use RE. BOS cabinets for AC. We use off-the shelf load centers with interlocks, often the item you cited. Trace used to have an IPP that used the QO2DTI. It's a good solution.
