Hello all - I have a 60 AMP sub panel that services a few 15 amp circuits and 3 240V A/C Compressors. I want to use a portable generator to run everything EXCEPT the A/C. What I want to do is connect the Generator through a DPDT transfer switch to the Circuit in the main panel that services the sub panel. The wattage is a good match for what I want to run. My Question is, the 30Amp 240v generator will be connected to a 60Amp 240v breaker in the main panel. Is that a problem? Clearly the 60 AMP breaker will never be triggered, but the 15 amp breakers in the sub panel should still protect. Am I over thinking this? Thanks for any advice.
