Portable Generator

A backup power setup using a portable generator connected to a home’s electrical system via a manual transfer switch and subpanel. The generator supplies power through an outdoor power inlet, which is wired to the manual transfer switch subpanel inside the home. The transfer switch safely isolates the generator power from the main circuit panel, preventing backfeeding and ensuring safe distribution to selected circuits. This setup allows the generator to supply power to essential circuits during an outage, providing reliable backup power for critical appliances and lighting without interfering with the main electrical grid.
