FAQ
Where shall I install the Power Transfer Kit Elite?
The size of the Power Transfer Switch is 13 1/4 x 8 x 4 3/4 inches. The
conduit is approximately 18 inch long with the clamps. It is recommended to
install it in a close area to your breaker panel.
Can I use Power Transfer Kit Elite and Nature’s Generator Elite to back up
220V? Unfortunately, it only works on 110V. It is not compatible with 220V.
What happens when the utility power is restored?
When your utility power is restored, other lights and appliances on the
circuits that are not connected to Power Transfer Switch will turn on. To
transfer the circuits on the generator to utility power, flip the toggle
switches back to the LINE position and shut down your Nature’s Generator
Elite.
Will the surge damage my Nature’s Generator Elite when the unity power is
restored?
No. The circuits that are connected to Power Transfer Switch are isolated from
the utility power. There is no danger of back-feeding the utility power.
What will I be able to power?
Runtimes with the Power Transfer Kit Elite are dependent on the combined
loading of connected ciruits and the amount of the Nature’s Generator Power
Pod Elite that are connected to Nature’s Generator Elite. For instance, a
60watt light bulb will run about 20 hours with only the Nature’s Generator
Elite. That same 70W light will run about 27 hours with the Nature’s Generator
Elite and one Nature’s Generator Power Pod Elite. And that same 70W light will
run about 44 hours with the Nature’s Generator Elite and two Nature’s
Generator Power Pod Elite.
Can 1 use it off the grid-like in a cabin or RV?
Yes. If it is always powered by your Nature’s Generator Elite, please keep the
toggle switch on your Power Transfer Switch to the GEN position.
