Portable Generator Transfer Switches
By installing a transfer switch at your breaker box and connecting a portable
generator to the transfer switch, you can eliminate the tangle of extension cords and
run selected circuits for motor powered devices such as a furnace blower or well pump
that can't be plugged into the generator.

The transfer switch is wired to an outdoor receptacle (power inlet) and the generator
is connected to the power inlet with a specially designed power cord.

Installing a transfer switch also prevents the generator from "back-feeding" power
into utility lines. Back-feeding poses a danger to utility linemen working on what they
assume to be dead power lines. Inversely, it will prevent restored utility power from
entering your home while the generator is running.

The capacity of the transfer switch should be matched to the wattage and highest
amp outlet of the generator. Transfer switch kits are available for around $300 plus
the cost of installation by a licensed electrician.

Most manual transfer switches come equipped with a watt meter. This tool is
indispensable to first time users for monitoring power usage and preventing system
overload.

Below is a short but informative video that explains the basic operation of a portable
generator and transfer switch.
