LINe tRANsfeR sWItCh
If this generator is used for standby service, it must have a transfer switch
between the utility power service and the generator. The transfer switch not only
prevents the utility power from feeding into the generator, but it also prevents the
generator from feeding into the utility company’s lines. This is intended to protect
a serviceman who may be working on a damaged line.
