Thank you for your purchase of this Briggs & Stratton Switching Neutral Manual Transfer Switch. This transfer switch is designed for use with generators equipped with or without Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI). The switch disconnects the appropriate neutral circuit to allow the GFCI to function properly.
This transfer switch is for use with optional home standby systems which provide an alternate source of electric power and to serve loads such as a gas furnace, refrigeration and communication systems that, when stopped during any power outage, could cause discomfort, or the like. This product DOES NOT qualify for emergency standby as defined by NFPA 70 (NEC).
