         A circuit transfer switch kit is an important electrical switch that is used to switch from one power source to another. The alternative power sources can be multiple. One example of an alternative power source is a generator. When the main power source fails, the circuit transfer switch switches from the main power source to the alternative power source. This action can be done automatically or manually, depending on the type of transfer switched installed. Here are instructions on how to install a circuit transfer switch kit.

     Electricity enters our homes through the main breaker panel. The trouble is that when there is a power cut we aren't able to use any of these appliances, and that's where a generator comes in handy. A generator is a gas powered engine which is attached to a motor, the engine will turn the electric motor which will in turn generate an electric current.

       A portable generator transfer switch will allow you to have power to selected circuits in the event of a power outage. You’ll simply need to plug in your portable generator and crank it up and then everything in the new circuit box, or portable generator transfer switch, will be running. For anyone used to working with electricity this isn’t a complex task. However, novices should get experienced help before attempting to install a portable generator transfer switch.

       A circuit transfer switch ensures the safe switching of electricity supply between the main utility and a local generator. A back-up electricity supply system for the home may be required where there is risk of utility outages or constant electricity supply is essential for critical equipment or activities. The following steps will help you wire a typical circuit transfer switch for use with a single pole circuit breaker main board delivering 120 volts. Tools Required: Wire Stripper Screwdriver Step 1: Select Emergency Circuits Decide which electrical circuits are most important for you to maintain during a utility supply outage. These may include circuits that supply electricity to your refrigerator, freezer, (gas or fuel) water heater, sump pump, (microwave) oven and house lighting. Step 2: Match Wattage with Generator Add up the total wattage of the emergency circuits and be sure they do not exceed 80 percent of the total wattage output of your generator. I...

     If your home’s electricity runs on a full household generator, it is necessary for you to install a generator transfer switch. It is important for you to be familiar with the kinds of wires you need to connect, as well the location of your generator. Below are the materials that you will need along with the instructions on how to wire a generator transfer switch.

Home generator transfer switch is a practical gadget to have as a back-up in the occurrence of power outages. This mechanism simply transfers power from a generator into household appliances when power is unavailable. Below are the materials that you need along with the instructions on how to install a home generator transfer switch.

      A Manual Transfer Switch and a back-up generator can save you during a power outage. The transfer switch can transfer the power from the utilities to the standby generator. A generator can supply power to a limited number of appliances during power failure, so it is essential to decide which circuit will work better during power outage. There are two ways to execute the transfer: manual and automatic. In both the cases, the circuit is same, but a manual transfer switch can operate only when someone is at home.
