Generac RTSC400A3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Generac RTSC400A3 transfer switch work with a three-phase generator?
No. The RTSC400A3 is a single-phase 120/240-volt switch, built for single-phase generators rated 60 kW and below. A three-phase standby set needs a three-phase transfer switch instead. If your service is 120/240 single-phase at 400 amps, this is the right configuration.
2) Can the RTSC400A3 be mounted outdoors next to the generator?
Yes. The enclosure is aluminum, NEMA/UL Type 3R rated with electrostatically applied and baked powder paint, so it is suited to outdoor wall mounting. The aluminum housing also resists corrosion better than painted steel in coastal or damp locations.
3) What size generator can I connect to a Generac RTSC400A3 smart switch?
Maximum generator input is 48,000 watts (48 kW), and the switch is designed for single-phase generators 60 kW and below. Size your standby set at or under 48 kW on the input side.
4) Do I need extra hardware to shed air conditioning loads with a Generac smart switch?
No added hardware for the first four. Digital Power Technology built into the RTSC400A3 manages up to 4 individual HVAC loads controlled at 24 VAC directly from the switch. Add Generac Smart Management Modules and the count goes up to 8 managed loads.
5) How much wall space and clearance do I need for the RTSC400A3 enclosure?
The cabinet measures 52 inches high, 25 inches wide, and 17 inches deep, and it weighs 130 pounds. At that weight plan on two people and structural backing, plus working clearance in front per your local electrical code.
6) Is the Generac RTSC400A3 UL listed for permanent standby installations?
It is UL Listed and cUL listed for 120/240-volt single-phase service, so it can be used on both sides of the border. The internal Generac heavy duty contactor is a cUL recognized device.
7) Does the RTSC400A3 ship with installation instructions, or do I have to download them?
Installation instructions come in the box, and the transfer switch itself is the hardware supplied. Conduit, wire, lugs beyond what is factory fitted, and any Smart Management Modules for load shedding are separate.
