It is unlikely that the generator would run at full load for an extended period of time. Therefore, your consumption would decrease accordingly. • The generator that I’ve chosen has a 100-amp automatic transfer switch. What if I have 200-amp service in my home? It is always recommended that emergency circuits be isolated by the emergency load center. An isolated sub-panel will prevent the possibility of the generator becoming overloaded. Thus, the system will respond automatically. • Will 200-amp automatic transfer switches be available for the air-cooled models, and the 15 kW and 20 kW liquid-cooled Residential Emergency Home Standby generators? No. It is not
