I'm looking at getting a stationary standby generator. Here's my set up now. Our main electric comes into the house with the breaker panel in the basement. Off of this panel I feed our shed with 200 amp service (2-100 amp breakers). My question is. Can I hook the generator up to my shed with a transfer switch in the shed or does the transfer switch need to be in the house? I would think I can put it in the shed.
Right now I have an older 42 amp 11hp generator I plug into the breaker box in the shed and it backfeeds into the house and runs everything except the AC. I just have to flip the main breaker in the basement box first though.
