We were going to have 100 amp capacity in the pole barn, but we will be upgrading the service. The 100 amp panel will work fine as a sub-panel in the house for the generator loads. Instead of "generator" controlled circuit breakers, I should have used the phrase "remote controlled". SquareD makes a 24vdc operable circuit breaker. Try this link:

They also make a handy power supply that snaps into the same sized hole as the breaker. The remote controlled breakers are very useful for load management purposes.

Thanks for the input!
