Generac RTSN400K3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Generac RTSN400K3 transfer switch work with a 277/480V three-phase generator?
Yes. The RTSN400K3 is a three-phase, 277/480-volt automatic transfer switch rated 400 amps, built for three-phase generators of 60 kW and below. If your standby set is single-phase or 120/240V, this is the wrong switch.
2) Can the RTSN400K3 be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The enclosure is aluminum, NEMA/UL Type 3R, with electrostatically applied and baked powder paint in grey, so it is rated for outdoor wall or pad mounting.
3) How much wall space and clearance do I need for a 400 amp Generac RTSN transfer switch?
Plan for an enclosure 52 inches high, 25 inches wide and 17 inches deep, weighing 130 lbs. At that weight it is a two-person lift or a mechanical assist, and the backing needs to carry it if you are wall mounting.
4) What is the largest generator I can put on the RTSN400K3?
The switch is rated for a maximum generator input of 48,000 W and is intended for three-phase generators 60 kW and below. Size the set to stay within that input rating.
5) Can this Generac transfer switch shed HVAC loads without adding hardware?
Yes. Digital Power Management lets the switch control up to four individual HVAC loads using 24 VAC control, with no extra modules. Add Smart Management Modules and the total managed load count goes to eight.
6) Is the RTSN400K3 listed for commercial installation?
It is UL Listed and cUL listed, and the Generac heavy duty contactor inside it is a cUL recognized device. That covers both US and Canadian inspection on a commercial standby install.
7) What comes in the box with the Generac RTSN400K3, and do I need anything else?
You get the transfer switch itself with installation instructions. Conduit, conductors, lugs beyond what is factory fitted, and any Smart Management Modules for extra load shedding are separate. The switch is a 400 amp service-side device, so the feeder and overcurrent protection are part of the job, not the carton.
8) What part number should I put on the submittal for a Generac 400A 277/480V 3-phase NEMA 3R transfer switch?
Specify Generac RTSN400K3. That is the manufacturer part number for the 400 amp, 277/480V three-phase, NEMA 3R automatic transfer switch.
9) Is the RTSN400K3 made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RTSN400K3 400 amp transfer switch is the United States, which matters if you are procuring against a domestic-content requirement.
