Im shopping for a standby generator and have a quick question:
I will only run 120V circuits from a 50A transfer switch. According to some very complicated mathematical calculations (50A * 120V = 6000W). If I buy a 7kW generator my transfer switch will be the limiting factor, right? There's no sense in getting a 10 or 12 kW generator with a wimpy transfer switch correct?
Just double checking my logic....
