Most ATS units have the ability to be transferred manually. The correct procedure MUST be followed for safety reasons.

That''s pretty nice, it has a built-in ALS controller. Can't complain about that! If you mount the ATS close enough to your main panel, you can swap some of the breakers to LS breakers and cut out unwanted load to protect against tripping the overload breaker on your genset.

I will keep an eye on it. If I see a condensation issue, I will replace the 90 with a Tee. I think the employ of a pipe notcher and some light welding would get the job done.

I considered that and I positioned it so that the access to the filters, etc opens into the shop. For most maintenance on the other side, I can open the door and fit in there pretty well. I'm short and skinny, so that helps. If I need more access, I can remove the door. Maybe someday a forklift...

Here is part of the ebay listing with the model in it. CUTLER-HAMMER TRANSFER SWITCH TYPE 3R EGS200SE 200AMP 208/240VOLT 2POLE 1PH 3W Edit: I have not tested performance with the exhaust attached. I really can't do that until I have the set wired in. I don't have a load tester. I don't see...

Snider, We have the same goal in mind. Fully automated starting, switch-over, switch-back and shutdown. I want to minimize the technical details for my wife and kid for when the power does go out. Hands-off is the best option in my opinion. I won't mind not having to walk out to the shop to...

Looks similar to the Eaton Cutter/Hammer ATS I bought. Check eBay and CL for used units. You want something with a 2 wire start signal if you ever plan to install a generator controller later. If you have no plans for an auto start ability, you are better off getting a manual transfer switch...
