Does the 22 kW require a service-rated transfer switch?

For full-service capability and handling large start loads, a 200 A service-rated transfer switch is recommended. Smaller limited-circuit switches may be used if whole-house coverage is not required.
The 22 kW measures about 67 dB(A) at 23 ft during normal load and about 57 dB(A) in Quiet-Test mode (low-speed exercise). Proper siting and enclosure placement further reduce perceived noise.
