Here is an quote from the Home Depot site on choosing a transfer switch. I know what they are trying to say, but it sure is clumsy.
A generator transfer switch closes off the utility power line to your home?s electrical system during a power outage and opens a line to a generator, then reverses the process when grid power is restored. Permanently hard-wired to and installed near the breaker panel in your home, transfer switches solve the problem of backfeeding, which occurs when electricity runs backward out of the house and through the utility transformer.
Transposing the "open" and "close" would help a lot.
No question, just a comment.
