Manual Transfer Switches (2 of 3)
  • When the transfer switch is switched to feed the facility’s electrical system from the generator, it will also disconnect the facility from the commercial power grid feed.
  • This ensures no electricity from the generator back feeds to the power grid endangering the lives of the line worker working to restore the damaged electrical distribution system.
  • This also protects the facility from any power surges from the commercial power grid as it is returned to operational status and re-energized.
