NEC Requirements

Local code enforcement may require that Arc Fault
Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) be incorporated into the
transfer switch distribution panel. The Transfer Switch
provided with this generator has a distribution panel that
will accept AFCIs (pre-wired transfer switches only).
Siemens Part No. Q115AF - 15A or Q120AF - 20A can
be obtained from a local electrical wholesaler and will
simply replace any of the single pole circuit breakers
supplied in the pre-wired transfer switch distribution
panel.
