For my parents house, there is a main and a backup panel. I'd like to have a double throw manual transfer switch to change the backup panel from being powered by the inverter load connection to the grid directly in case of inverter failure or service. Max load would be 80 amps, 2 pole (split phase).
This seems to be the best I can find:
It is a bit ugly and big. It will require surface mounting on a wall where the breaker panels are already flush mount.
I prefer not to do a main breaker and feeder breaker interlock slide due to inspection issues and the fact the sub panel has no main breaker installed. Is that code compliant and will it pass inspection if I did that?
I see nice looking rotary cam switches, but they seem to be European market and not UL listed.
It has to pass inspection, so UL listed/certified.
Any suggestions? It is just a DPDT switch, don't need fusing, how hard can this be?
