I am finally going to install a transfer switch; an Emergen 6-5000. It has a recessed plug in the face.
I want to remove the plug and cover it with a piece of sheet metal. I will then cut a hole (preferably in the top of the box, but in the new sheet metal if necessary) for a cable clamp and hardwire a cable to the switch. Then run the cable the length of the house to a plug where I run my generator. (In the garage with doors propped open at the front and back )
Is there any hideous flaw in this scheme that I am overlooking? Thanks
