Connecting Generator To Main Electrical Supply

Potential hazards exist when a electrical generator is connected to the main electrical supply coming into the house. It is at that point that the generator could feed back into the utility company’s system causing possible electrocution of workers who are repairing electrical lines. To avoid back feeding of electricity into utility systems, a double-throw transfer switch should be installed between the generator and utility power. This device should be installed by a licensed electrician and in compliance with all local electrical codes.

NOTE: When installing a Double-Throw Transfer Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
