Generac RTSW100K3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Generac RTSW100K3 transfer switch work on a 277/480V three-phase service?
Yes. The RTSW100K3 is built for 277/480V three-phase at 100 amps, and it is service rated, so it can serve as the service disconnect rather than sitting downstream of one. On a 120/240V single-phase service it is the wrong switch.
2) Can the RTSW100K3 be mounted outdoors next to the generator?
Yes. The enclosure is aluminum, NEMA/UL Type 3R, with electrostatically applied powder coat in grey, so it is rated for outdoor wall mounting. Aluminum also holds up better than steel in coastal or damp locations.
3) What size generator can the RTSW100K3 handle?
Maximum generator input is 22,000 watts. Size the standby set at or below that figure, and keep the connected load within the switch's 100 amp rating.
4) Does this Generac transfer switch have its own controller, or does the generator run it?
The generator's controller does the work. All timing, utility sensing, exercise scheduling and transfer commands come from the controller at the generator; the switch itself carries a heavy duty UL recognized Generac contactor. That means it pairs with a Generac standby unit, not with a generator that expects the switch to supply the logic.
5) How much wall space do I need for the Generac 100 amp service rated transfer switch?
Plan on an enclosure 48 inches tall, 21.82 inches wide and 10.06 inches deep, weighing 50 pounds. It is a tall, narrow cabinet, so check headroom and the working clearance in front of it before you pick the location.
6) Is the Generac RTSW100K3 UL listed for a commercial installation?
The switch is UL Listed, with a UL Type 3R enclosure and a UL recognized contactor. For an inspector, the service rated designation is the other thing to point at: it lets the switch act as the service entrance equipment.
7) Should I buy a service rated transfer switch or a standard one?
A service rated switch like the RTSW100K3 includes the utility disconnect function, so it can be installed as the service entrance equipment and saves a separate disconnect ahead of it. A non-service-rated switch has to go downstream of an existing main disconnect. If your 100 amp 277/480V three-phase service already has a main, you do not need the service rated version.
8) Is anything else needed to mount the RTSW100K3, or does it come with hardware?
Mounting hardware and installation instructions ship with the switch. You still supply conduit, fittings, service and load conductors, and the control wiring back to the generator.
9) Where is the Generac RTSW100K3 made?
It is manufactured in the United States, which matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
