    My interpretation of this regulation is the following.

    That danger or damage to equipment does not arise after the connection or disconnection of any
    intended load as a result of the deviation of the voltage or frequency from the
    standard range.


    And

    Means shall be provided to automatically disconnect such
    parts of the installation, as may be necessary if the capacity of the
    alternative supply is exceeded

    I think what they are saying here is that there needs to be overload protection for the alternate power supply
    and not automatically disconnecting of individual circuits

    The Changeover switch is 63A 4pole, adequate for Eskom supply
