Funny you should mention that. We have a 6500 Honda. When we sold the old place all that was needed was one disconnect between the power into the panel fromthe pole via a throw switch and that is how the elecctician wired it, plus there is the breaker switch at the pole.

When we buil the new place last year the electrician said the code has changed and now we had to put a total disconnect then "downstream" of that was the throw switch which also isolates the pole. So you now apparently need a backup for a backup and then there is also the breaker switch at the pole. Some accident must have happened to change the code. Not cheap to do it but I think it is worth it.
