Your electronic transfer switch should work ok -for a period of time, but...If you like to stress switches out to "arc'en and sparkin' " causing wear is not good. The less current running across breakers the and less power fluctuation to circuits the better. Shut everything down first, then connect, let power stabilize a few minutes, then slowly power up the stuff you want to run. If you have extra monitoring of the power input for phasing, current, and voltage you will know what I mean.
