re: Transfer switch for generator

That's what has me confused, neither have a 200amp breaker or a "main" breaker to shut power off to the house, as far as I see. I'm going to post some pics this evening when I get home. Maybe I'm just a clown, but I'll triple check. I mean is it even possible not to have 1 breaker that shuts everything off?

Yes, 6 passes of the hand is the rule. Although a lot of jurisdictions are making people put a single means of disconnect now depending on what year NEC they are adopting.

The “six breaker throw rule” was a requirement in the National Electrical Code that a service must have have a main disconnect that shuts off all power and it cannot take more than six switch throws to do it

Bump on this tread. Any recommendations for an electrician in the BR/Ascension area that can install an interlock switch and 30A outlet?

Post a picture of the inside of your exterior panel and I’ll tell you what you need to buy

I had to replace my outside meter box for one that had a 200 amp breaker below the Entergy meter so I could disconnect from Entergy before switching to generator power.
