A little off topic, but I know someone here will have the answer. I have a
genset with a 220v recepticle which I wire into a transfer switch. The only
circuit that actually uses 220 serves the well-pump. The transfer switch
has a ganged 20amp breaker, which I wired to the well-pump circuit. The
generator, however, has two 20amp pushbutton circuit breakers, one for each
leg of 110. My question is: If one of the generator breakers tripped, then
my well pump would be getting only one leg of 110. Would the increased load
on the ganged breaker on the transfer switch cause it to also trip, or
should I wire in a ganged breaker at the generator itself? I certainly
don't want or have a way to test this...so I'm looking for advice.
Thanks,
Nok
