Yes. This is the way small residential transfer switches connect the generator to the system. The breakers are bidirectional.

How much voltage should be in 2pole circuit breaker?
In America, a 2-pole breaker is controlling 240V. 120V per leg.
Why do you get 240 volt on 1 leg 2pole breaker box residential power?
To answer this question you have to explain where you are measuring this voltage. Between what two points in the electrical panel. Use the discussion page for help.
How many watts will a 60 amp 2pole breaker handle?
Watts = Amps x Volts. 60 x 240 = 14400
How many amps required to run a single phase 4 ton air conditioner?
Every piece of equipment is different depending on the age and size of the equipment. Older machines usually require more electricity than a comparable unit that is new of the same size. Example; I had a 1and 1/2 ton condensing unit that was here when I bought my house which required a minimum circuit ampacity of 2pole 30amp breaker. I purchased a new 3 ton unit that only requires a 2pole 25amp breaker and when in use the compressor is only pulling about 17 amps by my clamp on amp meters reading.( That is on each leg) So the newer equipment is much more efficient than older equipment and a lot less costly to
Can I put a 40amp 2pole breaker on a 1 horse power well pump I am using?
No, the breaker size is too big. A 1 HP, 230 volt motor draws 8 amps. The electrical code recommends for a motor with a full load amps of 8 amp that it use either 25 amp non time delay fuse, 15 amp time delay fuse or a 20 amp two pole breaker. These sizes will work up to 11 amp full load amps.
What is a75hp 2pole 550v electric motor?
An electrical motor is a device that turns electrical energy into mechanical energy.
What is cross field principle?
A seperately excitd 2pole dc generator consitstng of many cnoductors rotating in magneti2 field producd by field coils with no load connected to it
My electric water heater is reading 120 volts on each element is this correct for 240 system?
IT depends, You should read 120v on each element, but instead of reading from hot to ground on each element you need to check voltage across both elements and read 240v... so take your meter and put one lead on one hot and the other lead on the other hot of the element and you should read 240 if you dont your only getting one phase to your hotwater heater. What that means is your house has two different phases of 120v coming in, we call it A and B phase. on your panel you have breakers that are numbered on the left side 1,3,5,7.... and on the right 2,4,6,8... reason being breaker 1 and 2 are side by side left to right and are on the same phase and as you go down the panel it alternates phases 3,4 B phase. that why when you see a breaker that is a 2pole or a double breaker there ontop of one another like circuts 1,3 or 2,4 cause loads or appliances that require 240 volts it has to be 120v from both phases A,B to get 240v. Hope this helps! Will Rogers II
In a fan fast turn or slow turn takes more current?
Fast speed requires more current than slow speed on the same motor unless the slower speed is caused by additional load. Two motors, one turns 1725 RPM and the other equal hp motor turns 3450 RPM, each draw same current because AC motors run at speeds close to the synchronus speed of the rotor poles. 2pole, 3600; 4pole, 1800.
