Generac RXG16EZA1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What breakers can I use in the Generac RXG16EZA1 transfer switch load center?
The RXG16EZA1 is multi listed for 1 inch standard, tandem, GFCI and AFCI breakers from Siemens, Murray, Eaton and Square D. That means you can usually stock the same breakers you already carry for those panels instead of sourcing a proprietary line, and you can put AFCI or GFCI protection on the backed-up circuits where code calls for it.
2) How many circuits does the Generac RXG16EZA1 back up, and what load will it carry?
Sixteen circuits, single phase. The switch is rated to 85 A maximum amperage and 22,000 W maximum wattage, so size your generator and the backed-up load against those numbers rather than the 100 amp load center designation.
3) Is the Generac RXG16EZA1 rated for outdoor installation?
No. It ships in a steel NEMA 1 enclosure with electrostatically applied and baked powder paint, which is an indoor, general purpose rating only. Mount it inside, typically in a garage, basement or utility room. If the switch has to sit on an exterior wall next to the generator you need a weather rated enclosure instead.
4) What comes in the box with the Generac RXG16EZA1, and what else do I need to order?
The carton holds the transfer switch and a 30 foot whip for the control connection to the generator. Branch breakers are not included, so plan on buying those separately in the Siemens, Murray, Eaton or Square D 1 inch styles. Service conductors, conduit and any load-side wiring are also on the installer.
5) How much wall space does the Generac RXG16EZA1 need, and how heavy is it to hang?
The enclosure measures 26.4 in height, 12.6 in width and 6.3 in depth, so it wants a clear stud bay plus NEC working clearance in front. It weighs 92 lbs, which is a two-person lift and needs solid blocking or stud fastening, not drywall anchors.
6) Does the Generac RXG16EZA1 have its own transfer controller, or does the generator run it?
The generator's controller handles all timing, sensing and exercise functions. The switch itself is a pre-wired contactor assembly with no separate control board to program, which keeps commissioning short but also means it is intended to pair with a Generac standby unit rather than operate standalone.
7) Will a Generac RXG16EZA1 pass inspection in Canada?
It carries UL, CSA and ETL safety listings, and the switch is cUL marked, so it is acceptable for both US and Canadian jurisdictions. It is built in the United States.
8) Should I use a circuit-by-circuit load center transfer switch like this or a whole-house service rated switch?
A 16-circuit load center ATS is the right call when you want to back up selected loads and keep generator sizing modest, since only the circuits you move into the panel are transferred, capped at 85 A and 22,000 W. A whole-house service rated switch transfers the entire service and needs a generator sized for the whole dwelling. For a property manager backing up heat, a fridge, a well pump and lighting in a unit, the 16-circuit approach is the cheaper install.
9) Is the Generac RXG16EZA1 suitable for a three-phase commercial panel?
No. It is a single phase device. Three-phase commercial service needs a three-phase transfer switch; this one is built for single phase residential and light commercial standby work.
10) Does the Generac RXG16EZA1 require a Prop 65 warning or have shipping restrictions?
Neither. The RXG16EZA1 is not flagged as containing chemicals that cause birth defects under California Prop 65, and it carries no shipping or sale restrictions.
