Generlink

With a GenerLink Transfer Switch, our customers can now operate an emergency generator safely, protecting linemen and other electric utility personnel from dangerous back feeds. Paris BPU installs the transfer switch neatly into your meter socket.

GenerLink provides a pathway for power to flow from the generator to a home’s breaker panel. GenerLink eliminates involving an electrician, cutting into your homes electrical system and electrical inspector fees.

  • The GenerLink Transfer Switch comes in 2 different sizes, 30 and 40 amp models. The size of your generator will dictate the size of the GenerLink model required.
  • Units have indicator lights to alert the user of capacity, utility power, generator power, and abnormal conditions.
  • GenerLink is designed for use with a portable generator that is connected temporarily to a home and provides a maximum continuous power output of less than 12,000 watts (40 amps).
  • GenerLink will not work with an electric service that is rated more than 200 amps.

GenerLink is connected to the generator’s 120/240-volt AC receptacle using a GenerLok power cord with the appropriate generator connection. Generators have different types of receptacles depending on the type of generator, the type of power provided and the size of the generator. Some generators are rated for only 120-volt or only 240-volt output; neither are appropriate for power your home through GenerLink. If your generator does not have a 120/240-volt AC receptacle, it is not suitable for use with GenerLink. Check your generator for 1 of the receptacles in the diagram to the right. If your generator does not have 1 of these receptacles, it should not be used with GenerLink.
