    How to hookup MEP-802A and MEP-003A through Asco transfer switch to dual 200A panels

    It's good for short ride-throughs, but to replace batteries in a 3KW/hr UPS, you'd need lots of them... The big ones I linked are 3Watt/hr each, so you'd need about a 1000 of them (before losses), that 3Watts can either come out quickly (max 15-second crank on an engine, or 15/3600ths of an...

    How to hookup MEP-802A and MEP-003A through Asco transfer switch to dual 200A panels

    That looks familiar - I used to do home theater installations in the 90's. Yes, I recall LaserDisc - nothing like composite video the size of an LP with RF digital audio out... talk about engineering compromises. Fun to watch Back to the Future 2 and see them in bales next to a dumpster - maybe...

    How to hookup MEP-802A and MEP-003A through Asco transfer switch to dual 200A panels

    That's right - drinking wine and running electrical wires :) Awesome. You can pull power from both 24V battery sets on the generators, and put it through a load sharing board like this. For a start signal ride-through you can just use a capacitor large enough to support the load during...

    How to hookup MEP-802A and MEP-003A through Asco transfer switch to dual 200A panels

    Not fool proof, fail-safe :) Ah, I missed that in you earlier post, now that you mention it I see you had said that. I don't think that would be an issue, I'm not aware of any code where you aren't allowed to use a panel or combination of sub panels that is rated higher than the...

    How to hookup MEP-802A and MEP-003A through Asco transfer switch to dual 200A panels

    Forgive me if I edit the sentence in the interest of being honest with yourself: "...I did not get a permit even though I realize that {REMOVED} I should have..." And that little voice in your head that types out as doubt means you know it. :) The point of the NEC discussion above is that you...

    How to hookup MEP-802A and MEP-003A through Asco transfer switch to dual 200A panels

    I think you need an MEP-005 or MEP-805... 200 Amp service is about 24kW. Is one of those two 100Amp panels an "emergency loads" panel? Are you planning on "teaming" the 802/003? I hate to ask, but did you get a permit to do this work?
