Is this transfer switch good for a normal 200 amp house electric system

It's not a whole house transfer it is only for designated circuits. Yes it will work in a panel for 200 amps.

The transfer switch should be matched to the generator your using not your home electric service. If the generator you are purchasing has a 30 amp output then this is a good match.

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.

Frankly, I would not put 16 amps on the switch. Do some testing before thinking about it. That would require purchasing some. I have told others that the switches can be damaged easily when connecting them, which is one of the reasons I would be careful in applying too much current. Hope this helps.

This switch will only work to switch 24 v dc a regular house switch is 120v ac it will not work for your regular switch. This is for led lighting and will require a power supply for the led lights that your intending to switch. It's more for small projects or crafts ie. led rope lights for archetectual lighting, electro luminescent wire for models, fiber optic light sources for star ceilings.

Yes....I have the EU2000is and that is what I used it for. Takes the 3 prong 30 amp outlet and converts it to the 4 prong for a transfer switch. Hope this helps!

the switch is rated @ 15 amps/12 volts. Probably you could. It is a very nice, rugged switch which is seeing duty on my ATV, and has never offered to fail. Highly recommended.

It does come with a transfer switch if advertised. We didn't mess with our breaker box at all. We pulled the meter to the house and ran wires from the meter straight to the transfer switch. Took our "house" wires and hooked to the transfer switch as well, then from the transfer switch we wired to the generator. The house line goes directly to the breaker so you don't have to mess with the box at all. It's probably a $1k+ job for an electrician to do...guessing. Me and my brother in law did it....but he's an electrician.

I would think that it would be satisfactory. I installed the one I purchased for my alarm system. Not sure what you are using it for but it handles 25v versus 20v you are replacing.

The maximum size breaker in the transfer swich is a 2pole 30 amp. If you change the breakers the unit is no longer UL LISTED.

I would probably say yes, but the real question do you need to power them all at once. Mine runs a 5 ton AC, a well pump, a septic lift station, and the washer and dryer and I have run two burners on the stove without problem. Depending on which transfer switch you get you can your system set to have priorities on the load and it can temporarily drop load from less priority circuits. Wiring the panel is not a job for everyone. Why not call a Kohler dealer and have them look at your system and spec out a solution.

No it is mainly for low current applications as in garage door opener, how ever a 110 volt relay could be used as the switching source for the 20 amp power.

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.

It should be fine. This switch is just a passthru, no internal electronics.

Chances are you'll have to have an electrician install one and wire up the circuits that you want to be able to transfer, assuming you're not talking about a whole-house generator. Just remember you only get a few circuits to transfer, and they better have all the stuff you want powered on them.

It is designed to work with standard A/C electric, not low voltage. Any further info would require someone with electrical knowledge.

I have it on my 200 amp service at my house. I'm afraid I don't have the technical knowledge to answer your question. I do know that this has saved my new appliances from frying in the last electrical storm.

Hi. My take on this switch, which I have been using in my system literally for decades, is that it is not picky about voltage. It works just fine for me as a pressure switch for my 24volt dc pump.

I can't say for sure, but that current has to go somewhere. It might over-heat something in the line. But, at a max about 3 amps, it's probably ok. Think about why you want that switch in the first place. What is it going to do for you that the charge controller won't?
