Best fit: the largest single-phase services and commercial buildings, where available fault current or service size rules out a 600A switch.
Electrically operated, mechanically held contacts with a single-coil design and a 160 millisecond transfer time.
Main contacts are silver plated or silver alloy to resist welding and sticking.
Rated for all classes of load, inductive and resistive.
An integrated Smart A/C Module can manage up to four 24 VAC controlled HVAC loads with no extra hardware. Add Smart Management Modules and it can manage up to eight more.
A rugged NEMA 3R steel enclosure, 66 in tall, 36 in wide and 21 in deep.
Generac lists this size as compatible with its full 22 to 150kW liquid-cooled line.
At 800A the withstand rating is often the deciding number. The 65,000 A rating gives this switch more margin than the 600A version at 42,000 A, so we check available fault current against it during the design.
It accepts conductors from 4/0 to 500 MCM. The enclosure and 337.5 lb weight match the 600A version, so the same room planning applies.
Generac’s sheet shows the cETLus mark for this size, so it carries a Canadian listing.
Generac’s sheet lists Evolution and Nexus controllers. If you have a newer Power Zone generator, we confirm the pairing with you before ordering.
Generator Experts is the generator side of Platinum Electrical Contractors, a licensed Ontario electrical contractor working since 1991. We size the switch against your service, handle the wiring, permit and ESA inspection as part of generator installation, and look after the system afterwards with maintenance plans and service and repair.
