I searched the site to see if this was asked before but didn't see the exact question, so here goes:
At my house, if I put in a transfer switch to change between the utility feed and a portable generator, does the neutral need to be switched along with the hot wires? I'm talking about a single phase 120/240 3-wire system.
I was planning on grounding the generator neutral.
If the neutral is not switched, what are the problem that mayl occur when the utility power comes back on and I am still running on generator power.
Thanks,
