Hi, I have a portable generator (it's large enough to power the entire house) and had an electrician install a 30amp generator connection to the outside of my home. From there the lines rights to an existing mechanical transfer switch. Position down is for the power company and position up is for the generator.
I want to make sure that the order of connection here is correct:
Power Is Out
