the interlock plate and 50Amp breaker already installed so all thats left is the enclosure and plugging it in. Hope I never have to use it.
go update that breaker to a 60amp,thats more or less 14kw, gives you some headroom..the breaker won't trip exactly at 60amp but will give you some headroom so you dont overheat it,once the breaker gets hot it will trip more easily..-its a thermal magnetic design. the 60a will allow you for some surges in current but still protect the generator against faults(shorts) You want to size your generator breaker at 120% of maximum rating of the generator..if you go less it's OK, it'l just limit your capacity. What wire size are you using for your install? permanently wired in or cord+plug connected?
