4. Decide Critical Backup Circuits
a. Decide which 10 circuits will be on backup power continuously. These circuits must use non-
GFI breakers to work with the transfer switch. You can replace a GFI breaker with a normal
breaker, installing GFI outlets instead (or you can move GFI breaker into 10-circuit SW). If
applicable, low load circuits can be combined.
b. Important: Make sure to keep within inverter amperage limits:
On Grid = 50A continuous
Off Grid = 33A continuous/83A peak
c. Verify each load circuit by measuring typical and max Amps with a clip-on Amp meter. Amps x
120V = Watts
