This unit has 10 circuits. what does that mean and are 10 circuits enough circuits?

10 breakers are enough for emergency generator power. You need to determine which of the circuits in your house are essential during a power outage keeping in mind the output of your generator. Unless your house has a small power requirement some of your circuits will not be connected to your generator. You need to do some planning.

One circuit on the transfer switch equals a circuit breaker on your panel. You need to determine what circuits on your panel are critical in an outage. Ten worked for me.

10 circuits means there are 10 switches or breakers for energizing whatever outlets or switches on that particular breaker. Circuits vary house to house with how things are set up in the rooms. 10 circuits should be enough for a moderate sized house again, depending on what you have running on the circuits. With my set up, I have it set up so I have at least two outlets in each room powered up. This way I can have lights and outlets to charge items like my cell phone and operate a radio. I also have the refrigerator and freezers powered up as well as my microwave. On the double breaker, I have my well pump set up so we have running water during a power outage.

10 circuits means there are 10 breakers, each can be hooked up to a breaker in your main box. I chose the circuits that I would definitely require during a blackout such as my well pump. Hope this helps!

This panel functions alongside your main breaker panel. The connections from the main panel breakers are connected to the bypass switches in this panel so that, when your power fails, you can switch those circuits to the generator. Ten should be enough for most houses in a power outage since it should last a (hopefully) short amount of time. Make sure you add up the wattage drawn by each of those 10 circuits so you can get a generator with enough power output to handle the load. And, remember that motors in things like refrigerators and furnaces draw more current when starting than once they are running. This panel functions alongside your main breaker panel.

No. You could use a 4 zone and attach 2 x 018 plus one 12K unit to it Max, Total 3 units, leave 4th circuit empty.

You can wire up to about 10 circuits through this box, you have to pick the ones you want to back up and wire them through this switch, it does not back-up the entire 200 amp panel. I do not believe your total load can excede 30 amps, as I remember you feed this box with two 15 amp breakers from the main box when you are not running the backup generator. This box always feeds the circuits you run from it and gets its power from the generator or main panel.

We've had 4 units going with no trouble, so 6 should work. Keep in mind it only has 3 speaking channels, though, so each unit won't be able to have its own dedicated channel.

I don't know...but last year I bought 2 of these. Both lasted less than 30 days before the circuits fried and we're rendered useless. There was no refunds.

Requires 20.amp circuit so probably a shade over 10 amp but did not look for a plate on machine for specifics.

There are ten outlets on the back. It is a great piece of equipment. I have it in the master bedroom for the surroudn system. I have the larger unit in my family room. I recommend them both .

between main and needed circuits. I have three staged panel , main,sub1 sub 2

I'm not an electrician so I'm not up on the terminology. i can tell you that it fit neatly in a four switch grouping (i.e., the wall switch plate has four rectangular openings).

There is a lot to add up to figure that out. Number of lights, wattage totals, length of runs, etc.10 gauge is a good overall to use.

depends how many circuits you want to have active, look at Generac 6408 (6-10 circuit) or Reliance 31406CRK (5-6 circuits)

It depends on your control module. Most of them allow you to control more than one circuit at once but the amount may be limited. I reccomend checking the specifacations of your control module for this.

That's a difficult question to answer plainly. A lot depends on what else will be running on that circuit at the same time. For me, I am a one man shop, running one piece of equipment at a time, plus dust collection all the time. I ran a 30 amp circuit with 12 gauge wire, but my run wasn't very far at all. Honestly, if I had it to do over again, I would run bigger wire but having said that, I have NEVER tripped the circuit breaker so I'm convinced I'm fine with the set-up I have. It's an awesome machine. You will love it.

They have 6 systems. I think system 5 or 6 is the one you might need. Good luck.

The unit is rated at 12 AMPS, 1440 WATTS. A 15 AMP circuit is sufficient as long as there are not other appliances on the circuit.Hope that helps!

this is a room unit. There is a central module that allows up to eight room units or 7 plus a door unit. It can be expanded as well by adding additional modules. Look for the four room kit which should be available. It uses Cat 5 wiring to each unit. Very nice. Includes ability to have multiple conversations 1-1 or broadcast or monitor. Allows you to name rooms which display on the LCD. Hope this helps

honestly it is like 10ga. wiring. Its pretty good wiring. it will hold all of 30 amps.
