How It Works During a power outage, the transfer switch detects the loss of utility power and signals the generator to start. Once the generator reaches operating speed, the switch transfers your home’s electrical load to generator power. When utility power is restored, the switch safely transitions your home back to utility power and shuts down the generator. Installation Requirements This generator system must be installed by a qualified professional according to local electrical codes and manufacturer specifications. A transfer switch is required for automatic standby operation. Frequently Asked Questions Does this generator include a transfer switch? This product offers both options.
