Yes. All DuroMax generator models are compatible with transfer switches and interlock kits when installed correctly.

These systems allow a generator to safely supply power to selected circuits in your home during a power outage.

Transfer Switch vs Interlock Kit

Transfer Switch

A transfer switch allows you to connect the generator directly to your home’s electrical panel and safely power selected circuits.

Benefits include:

• Safe connection to household circuits

• Prevents backfeeding into utility lines

• Allows control over which circuits receive generator power

Interlock Kit

An interlock kit is installed on your electrical panel and ensures that the main breaker and generator breaker cannot be on at the same time.

This allows the generator to supply power to the panel while preventing unsafe backfeeding to utility lines.

Important Installation Recommendation

⚠ We strongly recommend having a licensed electrician install a transfer switch or interlock kit.

A certified licensed electrician installer can ensure:

• Proper wiring

• Safe operation

• Compliance with local electrical codes

Common Questions

Can I plug my generator directly into my house?

No. Generators should never be plugged directly into household outlets. This can cause dangerous backfeeding and electrical hazards.

A transfer switch or interlock kit must be used.

Do I need a special generator outlet to connect to a transfer switch?

Yes. Most transfer switch setups require a generator inlet box and proper power cord that matches the generator outlet.

Will my generator power my entire house?

This depends on the generator’s wattage and the electrical load of your home. Many transfer switches allow you to select only essential circuits.
