|
| Before the generator can be connected to a build- | |
|
|
| ing’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must | |
|
|
| install an isolation (transfer) switch in the build- | |
1 |
|
| ing’s main fuse box. The switch is the connection | |
|
|
| point for generator power and allows selection of | |
|
|
| generator or main line power to the building. This | |
|
|
| will prevent the generator from charging the main | |
|
|
| power line (backfeeding) when the main power sup- | |
|
|
| ply has failed or has been turned off for line repair. | |
|
| Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line mainte- | ||
|
|
| nance personnel. Also, generator and building | |
|
|
| electrical system damage can occur when normal | |
|

| operating power returns if unit is used without an | |
|

| isolation switch. | |
