equally important role. Proper safety measures are mandatory while handling
electric power sources and thus comes in the benefits of a transfer switch. It

manual one; a homeowner must turn on a switch to ensure that the power flows
smoothly from the commercial grid to the generator. Although having an
automatic switch might seem convincing but a manual change over switch have several benefits. Have a look at the
various advantages:

loss. The presence of a single-pole construction discards the need to use
unnecessary fixings sets to allow connections.

no need to have a super-fast transfer to generate power during load shedding.
