    Mep-002a Ammeter-Voltmeter transfer Switch

    /////////// Like I said, I'm no expert. I think you are correct. They are designed like that. The military generators are formidable. Consider a double pole breaker of 60 amps with a small short on one leg......would it trip the breaker?. I mean it should but who knows.? My welding...

    Mep-002a Ammeter-Voltmeter transfer Switch
