Generac RTSN800K3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Generac RTSN800K3 transfer switch be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The RTSN800K3 comes in an aluminum NEMA/UL Type 3R enclosure with electrostatically applied and baked powder paint, which is the rating for outdoor rain-tight service, so it can go on an exterior wall or pad next to the generator. The aluminum shell in a grey finish also avoids the corrosion issues you get with painted steel in coastal or wash-down locations.
2) What size generator does the Generac RTSN800K3 automatic transfer switch work with?
It is built for three-phase generators of 150 kW and below at 277/480 volts. If your set is single-phase, or three-phase above 150 kW, this is not the right switch for the job.
3) How much wall or pad space do I need for the RTSN800K3 transfer switch, and can one person hang it?
Plan for a unit measuring 52 inches high, 25 inches wide and 17 inches deep. It weighs 130 pounds, so it is a two-person lift or a hoist, and the mounting surface and anchors have to carry that plus the conductor weight coming into the box.
4) Can the Generac RTSN800K3 shed HVAC loads without adding extra control hardware?
Yes. Digital Power Technology built into the switch manages up to four individual HVAC loads controlled at 24 VAC with no additional hardware, so you wire the thermostat control legs through the switch rather than buying separate contactors or relays.
5) How do I manage more than four loads on a Generac RTSN800K3 installation?
Add Smart Management Modules. Used with the RTSN800K3, they take total managed loads up to eight, which is the route to take when the four native 24 VAC HVAC channels are not enough for the building. The modules are a separate purchase and are not in the box with the switch.
6) What comes in the box with the Generac RTSN800K3, and what will my electrician still need?
You get the transfer switch itself along with installation instructions. Conductors, conduit, breakers, the generator control wiring and any Smart Management Modules are all separate. Nothing in the package substitutes for a licensed electrician sizing the feeders for the service.
7) Where is the Generac RTSN800K3 made? I have domestic sourcing requirements.
Country of origin on the RTSN800K3 is the United States. For a government or institutional bid with domestic content language, that is the sourcing answer you take to the submittal.
8) What is the exact part number to order for the Generac 277/480 three-phase NEMA 3R transfer switch?
Order it as Generac RTSN800K3. That single model number covers the whole configuration: three-phase 277/480 volt, aluminum NEMA 3R outdoor enclosure, with the Digital Power Technology load management built in. There are no separate handing, finish or trim options to specify.
