How Does A Transfer Switch Work For A Home Generator?

KB Electric LLC installs many portable generators and whole home generators for our customers. There are two options when powering up your generator from your main electrical panel: an interlock kit or a transfer switch. Today, our electrician Darren Souder will explain in a video how the transfer switch option works.

What Is A Generator Transfer Switch? 

A generator transfer switch is a device that enables you to connect your generator to your home’s wiring, and is installed near your electrical panel into a dedicated outlet with just one cord. The device allows you to power your most needed circuits in the event of a power outage.

Examples of different things to power up with your transfer switch would be your heating system, water heater, refrigerator, a few important lights and outlets in different rooms, well pump, septic pump, etc. You can choose which circuits you would want in the device with the generator, but not all the circuits that are in your main electrical panel. 

 

How Does A Transfer Switch Work?

Let’s have Darren explain to us how a transfer switch works for a home generator:

LED Strobe Light Smoke Alarm

 

 

What Is A LED Strobe Light Smoke Alarm? 

A LED strobe light smoke alarm is a type of smoke detector for the hearing impaired. Just like a common smoke detector, the LED strobe light smoke detector can detect smoke, heat, and CO. The LED strobe light smoke alarm works by using a photoelectric sensor that alerts the homeowner of the danger, emitting a flashing light via a smart strobe. There are usually two types of different flashing patterns to distinguish between smoke and carbon monoxide.

A common brand for this would the First Alert Hardwired LED Strobe Light Smoke Alarm with 10-Year Sealed Battery – 7020BSL (just a smoke detector), and the First Alert Hardwired Smoke & CO Alarm with LED Strobe Light and 10-Year Sealed Battery – 7030BSL (smoke and CO combination detector).

Most LED strobe light smoke/CO alarms can be hardwired and interconnected.

 

What Is a LED Strobe Light Device?

There are also LED strobe light devices that aren’t smoke detectors, but are just devices that signal a light pattern. These devices interconnect with your existing smoke/CO alarms, but don’t necessarily “detect” the smoke, heat and CO. When your other regular smoke and CO detectors around your home sound, the device with the LED strobe light will go off with your other detectors, emitting a flashing light. A common brand for this would be the First Alert Hardwired Hearing Impaired LED Strobe Light – SLED177.

The LED strobe lights can be interconnected and hardwired with your existing smoke and CO detectors.
