I want to connect my well pump to my generator via a transfer switch. How many 2-pole circuits (commonly called 220, 230 or 240 volt) are provided on each transfer switch?
A. Generally the 6-circuit models can be configured for one (1) 2-pole circuit for use on one 240-volt circuit, and are provided with one (1) handle tie. The 8-circuit models can be configured for up to four (4) 2-pole breakers, and one (1) handle tie is provided. The 10-circuit models can usually be configured for up to five (5) 2-pole breakers, and two (2) handle ties are usually provided. Additional handle ties can be purchased from the factory. See the replacement parts list. If no 240 volt circuits are needed, the handle ties may be removed and discarded.
