Nicely done. I have just installed the same switch. Cummins installation instructions are not bad, but not great. I also installed a surge protector at the transfer switch as well as at both 200-amp subpanels.
Nice. Looking to enable solar along with grid and generator i have a 400A manual transfer switch at the moment and a 50KW diesel generator. Works great but want to reduce my power bill with Solar and batteries have not found many switches capable of supporting the full 400A.
You are not an electrician, but you did good! Looks good! The phrase 4 o is really 4 ought. Or 4/0. The conduits the connect from the new disconnect to the the sub panels should be 2 in. Good job again!
Very nice install for a DIY!! Any problems with inspections or permits since you did it yourself? I know you used 4/0 aluminum and said you wished you used copper. I personally would love to use copper for all of it but price is almost prohibitive because of price. That aluminum is actually easier to bend that the smaller copper because Al is so much softer material. I also noticed that you had 2 wires per terminal on the meter. Did the utility co give you any problems about that? In my part of the country that double wire wouldn’t fly. Poco likes wire on individual terminal. Is there an exterior 400a disconnect? That’s another requirement so first responders can isolate power during an emergency. They still require it even though you have the service disconnect right on the other side of the wall. As another person said this was for sure an advanced diy install. Good looking job!
Service entry aesthetics: (Jeremy Your meter panel is how it should be done) 1. I'm all for NEC code changes for safety, but why can it be done in an aesthetic and pleasing manner for the exterior of residential buildings? 2. Why aren't architects demanding the electrical manufacturers address exterior service disconnects 3. How about an external small mechanical disconnect that uses a spring cable to disconnect the breaker or knife switch on the inside of the building. Of course certified and listed. Residential 400 amp residential service looks like a small industrial building. Very large meter panel. Very large disconnects switch box, and a 200 amp panel box, and a second 200 amp panel box in the inside of the residence. Then down the road were coming up with smart panels even larger housings. How about adding to the engineering staff a design engineer and architect so their voices can be added to the design process and residential stop looking like small industrial plants.
