The switch is rated for 7500 watts. Although your generator is rated at 8000 watts, that is probably it's maximum rated output and it's running capacity would normally be considerably less. The max capacity is usually only achieved during the initial startup of certain electrical equipment, which when once running, the wattage drops off. It is important to determine the wattage required for those electrical circuits which you wish to energize, and then balance that demand across both sides of the transfer switch, while also being careful not to exceed the 7500 watts maximum. In the short of it, this is an excellent switch, easily installed, and should meet your needs with no problem.

The way the switch works is if the primary power source fails it will auto switch it and you wouldnt even notice it. If you want to split the loads you have to run seperate wiring.

only if you have huge power draw pulling power through them. The Amp rating of switches and relays etc are the max rating for the circuit. You are safe as long as what ever is actually using the power uses less than the lowest rated part of the circuit you will be just fine.

This is a remotely operated switch. Rated for 15 amps. I use it to operate a relay and depend on the vehicle battery for power. Only power here is the battery in the remote to send the signal. It could be used to switch directly if the load was less than 15 amps. I personally would not trust it to hold up in switching a 15 amp load often and depend on a stout relay.

The switch is rated at 15 amps (12 volts) so it would appear to be plenty "stout" for your application. Link to product's info: http://shoreline-marinedevelopment.com/products-brasstoggleswitch

Its 100A max input which would point toward 6gauge if you want to provide full current capacity. I however used 8guage as I'm only pulling maybe 60A max.

This switch is rated for up to 24 volt systems...The 32 volts is for UL specs...It would handle the 200 amps with no problem as it rated to 350 continuous and 600 surge. I'm not sure that the switch is heavy gage enough for the 48 volt system that would be putting much more constant current thru the switch and may fail when you need it most...but then I am not an electrician. As for your needing a 5 position switch it would have to be very large to hold all the cables.

Hi, I purchased this switch for my 20kw Generac generator. The switch works great but I cannot comment on how it would work in your case. I would ask a certified electrican. Sorry. Morris

As long as the current draw is within the limits of the switch it should work.

What type of load are you attempting to power ( welder , 1hp compressor, etc) ?

I am using this pressure switch on my 220v 60gal compressor, not sure how many amps the motor is rated for though.

This switch is rated at about 3 Amps at 125VAC. IT should be ok in series with the hot lead going to your radio, 12V at about 2A. However it makes no sense to eliminate the parasitic drain of a few ma. Did you measure the parasitic current?

Not sure, never tired it. However, as it is simply a switch, so it should work. I'd confirm with the seller. Nothing seems to be simple any more.

These switches are 125 volt and made for lighter duty up to 20 amps, single pole. They are made for lights or small exhaust fans etc.

I bought one at Home Depot (here in the US) years ago for that use and it has worked fine, so I bought another here on Amazon about 6 months ago for another fan and it has worked fine as well. The biggest factor that i know you must watch is the load capacity. I'm not sure about "inductive timer" requirements, but there are some that clearly state that they are only to be used for lights and not on fans because the load is too great.
