My transfer Switch can handle both inputs 120 / 240. See post #13 this transfer switch kit is designed with the capability of 2 pole circuits and allows 240-volt circuits. I removed the installed 2-pole circuits with the tie bar to allow for 2 single pole circuits as they were NOT needed. My portable 3500 genny only does 120 as well as my Onan 5500 only does 120.
I see no problem and no risks. The Onan 5500 when connected to my Transfer switch will actually give me more power because I will have true 30amp supply on both legs of my 7500 watts available on Switch; where as today when I use my portable 3500 I only have 1 true leg of 30 amp spread across both legs of transfer switch.
My transfer switch is not wired to any circuit in my house that requires 240 nor the breaker that feeds the sub panel for my 50/30/20 Pedestal.
