On the purchase of your new EmerGen Switch
Your new EmerGen Switch will provide you with a way to safely utilize
your generator power through your existing electrical wiring during a power
outage. You'll install your switch next to your home's electrical panel load
center and then you'll connect circuit breaker wires to the transfer switch's
circuits. Once you power up your portable generator, you will manually turn on
each switch and that generator energy is transferred as electrical power and
goes through the house circuits you have previously chosen.
Your EmerGen Switch is easy for a licensed electrician or qualified
professional to install, safe for a homeowner to operate, and will work with
120/240V single phase AC generators, factory equipped with NEMA type
receptacles L14-20R
Your EmerGen Switch will not permit connection to both utility and generator
power at the same time.
