If this generator is used to power electrical load circuits normally powered by a utility power source, it is required by code to install
a transfer switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolate the electrical system from the utility distribution system when the
generator is operating (NEC 700, 701 & 702). Failure to isolate an electrical system by such means will result in damage to the gen-
erator and also may result in injury or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy
