Is this generator transfer switch ready?
1 answer-
ProductExpert11· 2 years ago
The generator is not transfer switch ready. The generator is neutrally bonded. It would need to be floating. There will be a three inch wire shortening. White neutral to green ground. This would need to be cut and capped off.
