this package has 14 kw kohler and a whole house transfer switch 200 amp non service rated.

New house built 7 years ago with 200 amp panel . No seperate disconect switch between meter and panel. Can i use this package. Must a service disconect then be installed.

Is anyone familar with this. They are on backorder from kohler and i want to make sure before ordering. I will have electrician install and he said he can install any genny i get . I would like to fiqure install parts cost to make a better informed decision. Thanks

The switch must be service entrance rated or a rated disconnect must be installed between the switch and meter.


200 amp disconnects are about 100-130 bucks at the big box stores.
Is maybe cost effective to get a service rated transfer switch so there will be less labor involved.

NO... it does not.... You need a service rated disconnect.
