Generac 9855 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Generac 9855 transfer switch work with any portable generator I already own?
The 9855 HomeLink manual transfer switch kit works with any portable generator that has GFCI protected outlets, and it is sized at 50 amps. It can also be upgraded later to run off a Generac home standby unit up to 11kW, so a property owner who starts with a portable and moves to a standby generator later does not have to replace the switch.
2) How many circuits can the Generac 9855 HomeLink kit cover?
The 9855 kit handles 10 to 16 circuits. That is enough to carry the hard-wired loads people actually care about during an outage: furnace, well pump, and lighting circuits are powered directly rather than through extension cords. If a building needs more than 16 circuits backed up, this kit is not the right size.
3) Can the Generac 9855 transfer switch be mounted flush in a finished wall?
Both flush and surface mounting are supported on the 9855, so it can go into a finished wall cavity or sit on the surface of a basement or utility room wall. The enclosure is NEMA 1, which is an indoor rating, so it belongs inside. Do not hang it on an exterior wall or in a damp location.
4) Is the Generac 9855 an automatic transfer switch or do I have to throw it myself?
It is a manual transfer switch, not automatic. Changing from utility to generator power is done with an electronic rocker switch, a single button push rather than a lever per circuit. Indicator lights on the front show whether utility or generator power is present, so whoever is on site can see which source is feeding the panel before switching. If the requirement is that the building transfers with nobody present, a manual transfer switch is the wrong product type and an automatic transfer switch is needed instead.
5) Does a Generac HomeLink transfer switch prevent back-feeding into the utility line?
Yes, that is the reason a transfer switch is required rather than a suicide cord. The 9855 isolates the generator from the utility so power cannot back-feed onto the incoming line and injure a lineman working the outage. That isolation is the code reason an inspector will fail a generator hookup that does not have one.
6) Can I change or add circuits in the Generac 9855 later?
The 9855 uses interchangeable type circuit breakers, so circuits can be reconfigured, replaced, or expanded after the initial install without swapping the switch. For a property manager who backs up the furnace and well pump first and wants to add a sump or a refrigerator circuit later, that work is a breaker change inside the existing enclosure.
7) What does the alum PIB mean on the Generac 9855 kit?
PIB is the power inlet box, the outdoor receptacle the generator cord plugs into, and on the 9855 it is the aluminum version. It ships as part of the kit, so the inlet does not have to be sourced separately. Pre-wired kit versions are offered for a faster install.
8) What model number do I order for the 50 amp Generac HomeLink manual transfer switch kit?
The part is Generac 9855, and the manufacturer part number is the same: 9855. That covers the 50 amp HomeLink MTS kit with the aluminum power inlet box, 10 to 16 circuits, NEMA 1 enclosure, flush or surface mount. There is one configuration, so there is no suffix or option code to add to the order.
9) Is the Generac 9855 transfer switch made in the USA?
Country of origin on the 9855 HomeLink kit is the United States. For public agency, school district, and other institutional buyers working under domestic sourcing requirements, that is the line that matters on the submittal.
