Title: Need DPDT 60 A Switch
Post by: Vic on August 18, 2011, 03:24:15 PM
Just looked at the MN Product category on the MN Site.  Do not find this DPDT Switch or a mechanically locked out Breaker  assy (like the X Bypass Breaker, perhaps).

Need this device as a selector between two generators as the AC  in to X 5548 inverters.

Want to switch between a Honda EU 6500 isa,  and a larger Diesel Genset.  Using the Honda EU on the Grid power input causes it to be pulled of regulation,  when the SW reaches its charge/EQ Set point.  Believe that the SW will not do this when the generator AC  is coming from the generator AC in.

Does MN offer such a switch/Breaker?  Does anyone have a source at a not-so-high price?
Thanks,  Vic

Oh,  Did not think to look for an XFER switch.

Was thinking more in the line of  the X  'Bypass Breaker',  so was looking under Breakers.

That is close,  wish it would take 4 GA wire,  as the larger genset uses a 100 A breaker.

The 6 AWG limitation is due to the terminal window area of the breakers?  Realize that for 60 A, 6 GA wire has pleanty of ampacity.

Anyway, Thanks Ryan,  close ENUF.   73,  Vic
