My answer is the same as the others; the switch appears to be universal and can be adapted to most any unit.

I don't see why not. It is just a solenoid and a switch - brand shouldn't matter so long as the rating (amperage) is the same

I'm sure your aware there are specific generator cutover switches that include breakers and they are much higher rated. You may want to research those first...

Should be compatible with other brands, it's just a switch basically. Love it

yes, it is recommended. however, if they are all on the same circuit but on different breakers, it will still work. it will NOT work if they are on entirely separate circuits

My panel takes Cutler Hammer breakers. I am a General Contractor and i would think that a 99 isn't that far back so all your old ones should fit. Look at one of your old breakers. If it is a snap in, single split in the middle where it goes on the buss bar you should be fine.

The breaker that came with my panel indicates it will accept #1 to 300mcm CU or AL.

check the number of pins on receptacle where switch is plugged in. if it has the same number of pins it will work.

I'm not sure. I had an electrician install these switches for me. I can only tell you the switch works great!

I found the book that came with the unit was very helpful. Another way is looking at the major appliance ratings you are going to use the switch for. Getting it reasonably close will work fine. If you have 2 things that are hooked to 20 amp breakers split them wiring them to the red terminals, etc. Best I can do, hope it helps.

I concur with the other 7 answers you've received so far. The only worry might be the extra 10 amps, 25% more than what the original installer decided on. My breaker hasn't blown but hasn't had a reason to do so.

If you want to meet the code you can't use GE breakers in any other panel other than a GE panel. If you have to ask this question you would probably have many code violations. You should call a licensed electrician to install the panel. good luck

I not sure I quite understand you, But This switch has worked well for me in the past. and it is the same type I'm using now. If you have one like this and it has worked well for you , why change a good thing, I would recommend you get the same kind of switch.

Tried to replace my wel tec e116997 switch from my Casablanca fan with Westinghouse 77021 and it did not work. Neither did the ones from the big box stores. All wires were matched with same numbers on old switch so, no this switch is not compatible. Still looking for right one.
