Generator Transfer Switch Wiring Diagram
When a storm knocks out the grid, a properly wired transfer switch keeps the fridge cold, the sump pump running, and the furnace fan on. Utility power, generator, and breaker panel all connect on one sheet in ArcSite's generator transfer switch wiring diagram.
