A friend of mine asked me what's it cost. Has a




two story frame house. Circuit panel in the cellar,




panel is only a few years old. Wants a transfer




switch, and power inlet.








What's available? Are they dificult to install?




What kind of prices?








Only three parts that could be more involved. One is running the wire


from the panel to the intlet, assuming he wants the intlet outside,


which is where I'd want it, unless it was a real bitch to do.


The other would be if there isn't a empty spot for an additional


double pole breaker.




No breaker will do the job he needs DPDT Manual swtich



Please provide the cite for that. And explain why if
it's not permitted, why major panel manufacturers have listed
lockout slides for their panels, for exactly the purpose I
outlined?
