Two thoughts come to mind.... First is that Thermostat wire insulation is for Low Voltage, and shouldn't be in the same enclosure as conductors with high voltage. Use wire rated for 600V like the service conductors are, such as 600V MTW. Second, interupting the command for the Condensor, doesn't stop the Air Handler from requesting Cooling. Instead interupt the Cooling request between the Thermostat and the Air Handler. BTW, the Transfer Switch won't shut down the AC unless it is determined that the Generator is excessively loaded.
Yes, I believe so because it’s low voltage and can’t zap you. I’m not an electrician so I can’t say for certain however I see tstat wiring outside at every condenser.

Is thermostat wire rated for use outdoors without being in conduit ?

So u basically splice the wire goin to condensing unit? And one set goes to unit and the other to the load shed module?
Yea basically… you only have to break one wire…. Preferably the signal wire.
