I don't have much time now but I have to ask this.

If we can not trust breakers to do the job they are designed for we will have to stop installing multi-receptacle circuits.

Also note that that the change will still allow a homeowner to manually overload the circuit.

If it's not safe to let an Auto transfer switch overload the genset than it is not safe to let it be manually overloaded.

I think Joe's installation is perfect example of why we don't need this change.


Gotta go..Bob
