Read the description and still not sure what it is. Is it a simplified manual transfer switch that sits between the grid and your panel?
I really never understood some of these people and the thousands they spend on automatic, led, computer controlled, transfer switches.
Saw one of those home improvement shows a while back. Lady in the city complained that she lost the food in her refrigerator twice over the past two years due to power outages. Solution? A permanently installed 18KW NG unit for her 2 bedroom postage stamp house in the city. After the permits, gas fitter, electrician, landscaper (cement pad, and fence), and GC she got a bill for $27k. More surprisingly is that only "critical circuits" are wired into the transfer switch?
For $27K I would throw all the food out and stay at a hotel and still be ahead.
For me, throw the main breaker, backfeed the welder plug and push start on the 10kw generator, that I can take with me to a number of places. I also got for free an older 5kw 100% American made generator that I use as well as it sips the gas. Even the 5kw is plenty for simple household use.
Only problem I have is knowing when the power is back on. Neighbors to dang far to see their lights.
PS Spare me any BS about backfeeding not being up to code. During outages here our local power company advertises to please turn off the main breaker if you are backfeeding.
