I know this is a frequent topic with many opinions but I am now looking to wire in a generator to my house and have run across an option I haven't seen mentioned here before (link below). Firstly, I'm in Canada and while handy I do not know the electrical code. So I have a 7kw generator (8250 starting) and would like to be able to power my entire panel as I have freezers and other things scattered all over the place (there are four sub panels fed from the main panel). I know I cannot run everything without overloading the generator and would turn things on and off depending on what I need to run.
The main panel is in the dining room of my house so it's not going to be easy to install a transfer switch. I recently ran across an interlock kit that would work on my breaker panel (I am attaching a link below). Is there any way I can find out for sure if this meets code or not (besides the obvious hiring an electrician)? Also this would appear to leave the neutrals connected which I think has been suggested here as a potential hazard for workers on the line. Any thoughts on this interlock kit are much appreciated. Many thanks, Sam
