I have found this Electricenter accessory part # ECSBPK01. to be very useful with locally available load centers. labelled for Siemens and Murray. Fits well on Eaton tho not listed for that brand. Available locally for $32 or so lately. Does the same thing the Generac sub panel does for the

You can also build them with the interlock kits for (almost) whatever load center you like. https://interlockkit.com/shop/ Some of these are UL listed, some are not. The disadvantage of this route is that they are typically made for a high ampacity main circuit breaker, probably overkill for

Does anyone know of any bypass switch/breaker setup for anything greater than 60 amps for 2 poles, other than large DPDT switches which get pricey and hard to source especially for 200 amps? Howie On Thu, Mar 2, 2023, 6:23 PM Ray Walters via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote:

I probably still have one of the old QO boxes on the shelf, but I never liked them.  Single pole, very tight, and you had to double lug or use a weird split bolt arrangement with exposed copper out past the breaker. I started using these 60A T switches from Northern:

Kris, It was SqD QO403, and it was a 3-pole load center/disconnect, not 4-pole. You may recall that the dual-inverter Trace Power Panels of long ago used two of these, each one serving as an inverter bypass switch to one 120V AC leg. On 3/2/2023 11:46 AM, Kristopher Schmid via RE-wrenches

Hello wrenches, I am interested in input about an inverter bypass assembly for a dual Sunny Island 5048-US system with a 30 kW generator. SMA does not offer anything for this, but I think its an important part of the design. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks -- Mac Lewis * Yo solo
