  • An interlock kit is a mechanical instrument fitted onto your main breaker at the electrical panel. It is designed to prevent back-feeding from your generator to the utility provider once power is reinstated. Utilizing an interlock kit with your portable generator ensures a temporary backup power option.

  • Interlock kits are designed primarily to disconnect your home from the power grid before enabling generator power. This safeguards the generator and any devices linked to it from damage when power returns and also nullifies the potential for generator back-feed into the utility system, which could be hazardous to workers restoring power.

    An interlock kit employs a straightforward metal plate to inhibit the main or the generator's supply breaker from activating while the other operates. In the event of a power outage, homeowners can switch off the main breaker along with all branch circuits, then move the interlock plate clear of the generator's breaker to enable it to be switched on. Branch circuits can then be reactivated individually, ensuring that they do not exceed the generator's power limit.
