How many amps can a transfer switch handle?
The switches and wires in each transfer switch are rated for 20 amps. However, in the generator mode, each circuit is limited to the amperage of the circuit breakers in the Reliance Pro/Tran® transfer switch. Some of these breakers are 15 amps and some are 20 amps.
How do I know what amp transfer switch I need?
The best way to determine the ideal size of your transfer switch is to match it to your generator’s load. To do this, you should match the largest outlet on your generator. For instance, if your generator’s largest outlet is 30 amps, you should buy a 30-amp transfer switch to get the full power load.
Do I need a 30 amp or 50 amp transfer switch?
Sizing a Manual Transfer Switch The best way to size a manual transfer switch is to match it to the largest outlet on your generator. For example, if you see that your generator’s largest outlet is rated at 30 amps, you will need to buy a 30-amp transfer switch to get the full power load.

What is change over switch in electrical?
A changeover switch moves a circuit from a particular set of connections to the other where the switch has both the sets of connections.
What is a SIRCO m changeover switch?
Thanks to their modular format, SIRCO M changeover switches can be fixed to a DIN rail, a backplate or a modular panel. The SIRCO M switch comprises two mechanically interlocked load break switches which are tested in accordance to standard IEC 60947-3. Its AC23 characteristics enable it to perform on-load changeover switching.
