To install a switch of this type, it is usually necessary to have your local utility pull your meter, and shut off power to your home for several hours during installation. Reliance developed a transfer switch that is installed after the mains for faster, easier installation resulting in a much lower cost. The only limitation with this method is that you cannot have all your circuits in your main panel available for generator power; a limitation most people feel is not a problem.

While GenTran does not offer a "knife" type switch, Gen/Tran will offer a 200 amp manual transfer switch late in 2007. To install a DPDT switch, it is necessary to have your local utility shut off power to your home to remove your meter for several hours during installation. See similar questions...

Single pole thermostats break only one side of the power line to your heater and cannot be turned “off”. Therefore, power is continuous to the heater even if it is not running. The control knob will have a low temperature setting without an “off” position. Double pole thermostats break both sides of the power line; therefore all power to the heater is interrupted. The control knob will have an “off” position. See similar questions...

Yes. It is a standard procedure for our application engineers to coordinate the details of switch mounting with the suppliers of engineered pole structures (steel, concrete, laminated wood). We forward framing details to the pole supplier and we review the pole structure drawings submitted to us by the supplier to confirm correct hole patterns, including number, location and sizes. Note: We do not review the design specifications for the pole. See similar questions...

There is the possibility of the switch getting dirty and sticking, pumping all your topoff water into the tank. The double switch provides an extra layer of protection by shutting off the topoff pump if the water level triggers the top switch. See similar questions...

No. Your local phone company routes each 1+ call to the current PIC, and there can only be one. That carrier will bill you for your call. You may want to check with your old carrier to be sure any monthly fees are prorated and that all charges cease after your last day of usage. Normally this happens automatically. If you do contact your old carrier, be sure to clarify that you want billing stopped and that you don't want to be disconnected. See similar questions...

If you think of the earth as a spinning top, then the north and south poles are the top and bottom of the top. As the earth spins we get day and night. At the North Pole, however, night occurs continuously for half the year, and day occurs continuously for half the year depending on whether the pole is facing toward or away from the sun. Click here for today's view looking down on the North Pole from 1,000,000 kilometers in space. See similar questions...

A - This can be tricky, unless all the guests know both moms-to-be equally well. If some guests know one of the mothers and not the other, the issue will arrive as to whether they should buy a present for each, or just the mom they know. Also, some moms-to-be prefer to have this special occasion be centered around themselves, like their wedding and may not appreciate sharing the limelight. See similar questions...

A pole tent is the type of tent you may have seen if you ever attended a circus. It has one or more long poles in the center of the tent. A frame tent has no center poles so it provides full use of the space under the tent. Frame tents are traditionally more labor-intensive to install, so, in most cases, you will find the rental cost higher than a conventional pole tent. See similar questions...

The strength and direction of the Earth's magnetic field are constantly changing. Scientists monitor these changes and track the location of the magnetic north pole, which is not fixed at a specific geographic location. The magnetic north pole moves by a significant but variable amount from day to day and year to year (on the order of 40 kilometers or 25 miles). See similar questions...

This is one of my favorites. First rule: NEVER, NEVER go by the power ratings printed on an amp, or on the box. They are peak, or max power ratings. Translation: No way in hell! On name brand amps, check the spec sheet in the box, and look for the RMS, or continuous rating. This is what your amp is capable of on a regular basis. See similar questions...

Single-pole: A standard ON/OFF switch that controls one fixture from one location. 3-Way: A 3-way switch controls one fixture from two locations. For example, a light controlled from either end of a stairway or hallway. In three-way applications, two 3-way switches are required.4-Way: A 4-way switch allows you to control one fixture from three locations. In four-way applications, one 4-way switch and two 3-way switches are required. See similar questions...
