I read that 2 separate 50 amp breakers are required. Are they both double pole?

Yes 2 separate 50 amp double pole. I have photos I could share if I knew how to load them.

Not sure. I wired both normally so both would have surge protection. Would advise contacting Leviton to get best answer.

It is not recommended by the manufacturer to use any breaker larger than a 30 amp double pole. I don"t operate my stove on the back up generator. With this transfer switch and a 8500 watt portable generator I can run most everything else, not all at the same time though. That includes the AC.

Yes, 2 pole so you can switch both side of a 220 volt circuit. Or you can use just 1 pole.

Yes, technically. However, there are a couple other, and better, options. The best option is to put the surge protection device at the breaker panel. This requires a hard wire connection to a double pole breaker, which would also require the availability of two free breaker slots, thus protecting both legs of the 240V service. The second option would be to use a smaller Tripp lite outlet strip that only has one or two receptacles, since code states that large appliance loads should be on individual circuits. This would keep honest people honest by not allowing multiple loads to be connected to the large appliance circuit. Yes, technically. However, there are a couple other, and better, options.

Since the two breakers are side-by-side, it's conceivable that the positive magnet can be clamped around the hot wires from both breakers. Then the usage reports would be limited to those circuits.

No. My electrician wired this thing in for me and we used the 3 40 amp breakers and #8 wire per the instructions. Here's something we noticed when first testing out the unit with water flowing through to our kitchen sink. With this small demand for hot water, only 2 of the 40 amp circuits were in use. One measured 32 amps, the second measured 27 amps, and the third measured 0. My electrician and I assume the unit holds the third circuit in reserve for situations where more hot water is required. Why heat up two circuits when only 2 are necessary, right? I'm assuming this is the case although I have not read this anywhere. You may want to call the company to be sure. We've been using the water heater for close to a month and it does a good job of delivering a steady stream of hot water for the shower. We're very pleased but there is a little longer delay waiting for the hot water to get to where we need it. If you live in an area where water prices are extremely high this would be a consideration. I have not gotten the first electric bill but I feel certain we will see a savings. Please let me know if anyone tells you different information. Thanks!

Hi - I don't know what the difference between the two is , but I put this one on a 200 amp service. I works fine. Just make sure it is across the 220 circuit. I moved the breakers around , so the top two, one on each side of the panel are usd. Then it is first if a fault comes in.

Yes, it is made for single pole ( 120 Volt breakers as well as a double pole (240 Volt breaker) to use like on an electric range or any other 240 volt needs that you might have for the future.... Use a single pole breaker for 120 volt ----- use a double pole breaker for 240 volt ....There is plenty of room for several of these............ It is a great panel.. and Amazon service is the best ................

I'm not sure if this was answered yet and I apologize for the delay but the answer is yes. The configuration you describe is a single pole Installation with just 2 wires. I wish I knew how to upload a picture because I found the packaging that clearly shows this configuration. There are even two different ways to hook it when you only have 2 wires as well. Hope this helps.Edit: I posted a picture on the product images that shows the 2 different configurations.

The breaker is doing what it is supposed to do. That is good. It is protecting your purchase .... and yourself from a meltdown. The breaker capacity needs to be compatible with your unit specifications ..... and your wiring needs to be compatible with both. The unit will do what it is supposed to if you follow those steps. Titan will assist you with these types of questions ..... Why not trust the source ..... They don´t bite ! Bill

You should just change the breaker to a 60 amp on two of those lines. And use them. I myself would not use three. Because then you face the problem of one element pulling more than it should. And other problems. Better to switch two breakers. Much safer.

The assumption would be 20 amps. 10 ga wire is rated for about 30 amps but there aren't any 30 amp single pole breakers that I am aware of.

You only need 1 of them in the panel that is directly fed from the street...if both are fed directly from the street then you don't technically need one in each panel but you should do it. We have a 200 amp panel fed from the street, a 100 amp feeder panel on the second floor and a 60 amp feeder panel in the garage so we only needed on in the 200 amp panel.

not totally sure what you are asking, but these replace one standard size breaker (1" width) with a double - meaning it now supports two separate independent 115V circuits in the same 1" space in your box. if you mean tandem as in two 1" breakers pinned together so you can get 220V, it is NOT that.

Two would be normal but it depends on the AMPS of your circuit breakers. Check to be sure how much of a load it can take before adding on extra equipment.

This system is 220-240 VAC, single phase. Yes, you need to bring directly from your breaker box. Here is how I did. I added two 15 amps breakers at the main box. Every house has two 110VAC poles. Be sure to connect each of them to the 15 amps breaker. Then bring the wire to your system. In my case I added another 15 amps breakers next to the system out side my house. My system is 24000 btu, rated at 9 amps per phase. The rule of thumb is that your fuse must be between 120-133% of the rating on the system. Goodluck
