    • Summary

    To begin with, a transfer switch is a permanently-installed device that allows you to safely connect your generator to your home's electrical system. It isolates your generator from the power grid, so that your home is only ever energized by one power source at a time - either the generator or the grid. WARNING! Neverconnect your generator directly...

    1. Decide what you want to power.

    The first step in choosing a transfer switch is understanding your energy needs. Figure out which appliances or devices you want to power in the event of a power outage. For example, it's a good idea to be able to power a refrigerator or freezer (if needed for medical supplies or food), some lights and fans, the furnace and/or air conditioner, and maybe a TV or computer.

    2. Calculate the voltage and wattage you need.

    Once you have a complete list of the devices you want to be able to run in the event of an outage, take note of each device's voltage. Most household devices that plug into wall outlets run on standard 120-volt AC power. Some larger plug-in appliances, such as washers, dryers, and ovens, may run on 240-volt AC power. HVAC equipment (such as air conditioners and furnaces) is often hardwired into the electrical system; "hardwired" means it doesn't plug into a wall outlet. Determine the amount o...

    3. Know what features to look for.

    Below are some features you may want to look for when purchasing a transfer switch. This isn't necessarily a complete list - there may be other features that are important to you. 1. Onboard power meters. These meters will tell you, in real time, how much power is being consumed. This is important for load balancing, a concept we'll discuss more later. 2. Tie bars.Tie bars are used to convert two single-pole breakers (usually used with 120-volt circuits) to one double-pole breaker (usually us...

    Installation

    A typical manual transfer switch installation involves 5 components: a generator, an extension (connection) cord, an inlet box, the transfer switch, and your home's electrical panel. A diagram showing the typical connection of a generator to a home's electrical panel using a manual transfer switch. The generator (which should always be positioned at least 20 feet from the house, as well as away from doors, windows, and vents) is connected via an extension cord to the inlet box, which is perma...

    Usage

    For easy reference, here's the diagram again, showing a typical generator and transfer switch setup. Operate the transfer switch as instructed in your owner's manual. Generally, this goes as follows: 1. The power goes out. (Obviously - otherwise you wouldn't be using a transfer switch!) 2. You walk over to your transfer switch and make sure all switches are in the LINE position (or whatever position indicates connection to the grid). 3. You pull your generator out of storage, set it up, and c...
