An Economical and Safe Way to Wire a Backup Generator for Your Home Using a Transfer Switch

An Economical and Safe Way to Wire a Backup Generator for Your Home Using a Transfer Switch

This is a relatively economical way to connect a generator to a home electrical system using an automatic (semi) transfer switch and a small sub-panel to backup some important circuits in the event of a prolonged power outage.
I use a Southwire, 30A, 120V ATS, a 30A/120V flanged inlet, and pull out eight circuits into an Eaton CPL104 panel that is fed by utility power or the Champion 4000W dual fuel inverter / generator.
