I think I understand the basic idea of installing a transfer switch to prepare my house for a power outage. But before I call an electrician can you all tell me if I'm on the right track?
I have the 7.2 KW generator and that has a 30 amp outlet. From what I've read on here a good setup would be a Generac 6852 manual transfer switch and a Generac 6346 aluminum inlet box. I'll get a 30 amp extension cord. The company I've been talking with is Electric Generators Direct, and they've been helpful but they aren't familiar with the Powerboost system specifically, but they've done their best.
One thing I've read about on here is neutral ground and I don't understand it so I hope the Generac system will be a straitforward job without anything to confuse my electrician.
Is there anything I need to know before I call him?
Thanks
