How does a Manual Changeover Switch work?

A manual changeover switch connects a generator to your home’s main circuits and switches them to run on backup power during an outage. This means any appliance on that circuit will be powered. Many manual transfer switches are NEMA rated for indoor or outdoor installation.

Your generator’s power output will determine the number of circuits you can connect. Most 5,000 watt generators can restore power to six circuits. Larger generators can power 10 circuits.

  • Turn off all the circuits in the transfer switch.
  • Connect the generator and transfer switch using a gen cord.
  • Start the generator and let it warm up outside.

  • Turn off the main breakers in the transfer switch back to “Line” power.
  • Turn off the generator
  • Disconnect any cords
