CONNECTION

w

 

 

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-

 

 

ing’s main fuse box. The switch is the connection

2

 

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

 

 

supply has failed or has been turned off for line

repair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line

 

 

maintenance personnel. Also, generator and build-

 

 

 

ing electrical system damage can occur when nor-

 

 

mal operating power returns if unit is used without

 

 

an isolation switch.
