Transfer Switches For Home Generators
When power from a generator is allowed to return back to the grid – a condition called backfeeding - damage can occur to the electrical system. Backfeeding can also put utility workers in danger if they happen to be servicing the electrical grid near the generator.
Transfer switches are also designed to protect the home from electrical fires caused by short circuits and faulty electrical connections. If you're installing a home generator, it's important that the transfer switch is installed by a licensed electrician.
