Connection to a Home Power Supply
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system
must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must
isolate the generator power from utility power and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
WARNING
:
Improper connection to a building’s electrical
system can allow current from the generator to backfeed
into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute
people who come into contact with the lines during
the power outage, such as utility company workers.
Furthermore, the generator may explode, burn or cause
fires when power is restored. Consult the utility company
or a qualified electrician prior to making any power
connections.
