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.
