Exactly, Joe. The transfer switch makes it impossible for the power grid and the generator to ever be interconnected. Last night, when the grid power eventually came back on, I was in the shower at the time. I just kept the house on the generator for another fiteen minutes until I was out of the shower and dressed again. BTW, some locales require a permit from the city to install a transfer switch, and you must have the permit in-hand if you sell your house. Be sure to check local codes.

Very cool! I guess someone was warning against a generator causing a flashback type reaction when the utility switches power back on. But in your casae, with a terminator switch, that must not be a problem.
