Transfer Switch For Portable Generator
- A device which will switch a load from the main utility power source to a standby power source.
- a switching device for transferring one or
- A transfer switch is an electrical switch that switches a location’s electric power source from its primary source to its secondary or tertiary source, and back; and is part of an electric distribution system.
transfer switch
- A dynamo or similar machine for converting mechanical energy into electricity
- someone who originates or causes or initiates something; “he was the generator of several complaints”
- A thing that generates something, in particular
- An apparatus for producing gas, steam, or another product
- an apparatus that produces a vapor or gas
- engine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by electromagnetic induction
generator
- Able to be easily carried or moved, esp. because of being a lighter and smaller version than usual
- (of software) Able to be transferred from one machine or system to another
- easily or conveniently transported; “a portable television set”
- of a motor designed to be attached to the outside of a boat’s hull; “a portable outboard motor”
- a small light typewriter; usually with a case in which it can be carried

Transfer Switch Labeling
When the barn was first built, the solar system began as little more than a 45watt Harbor Freight kit feeding a car battery and a small 110 inverter. Higher demand loads were handled with a 7KW generator. For simplicity, both systems fed into the same AC breaker box separated only by breakers. As the system has grown, it was time to improve this approach into something safer.
So this weekend both the inverter output and the generator were routed to an AC transfer switch, with the output of the switch now feeding the mains of the breaker box. The upside to this design is that it prevents the possibility of having both the Inverter and the Generator feed the electrical system at the same time. Up to now, only operator diligence has prevented that potentially dangerous possibility.
Since the existing wiring was inside the walls beneath the foam insulation, after removing the pegboard panels, we had to cut into the foam to find the necessary feed lines to splice into. Fortunately we had previously documented all wire locations with videos stored here showing the wire run locations.
After completing the electrical work, the foam was repaired using "Great Stuff" canned insulation. After drying overnight, the pegboard panels were replaced, and the documentation & labeling updated. Now the system is safer than before – an important consideration given the changes coming this spring.
