PROTECT YOUR CO-OP'S LINE WORKERS
WITH TRANSFER SWITCH:
Generators can pose a hazard for line crews unless there is a properly installed "double-pole, double-throw" transfer switch that ensures that power produced by a generator does not back feed onto the utility's electric system. A worker repairing a damaged power line could be electrocuted by a charge carried over wires he thought were dead..

Please let us know if you do own and use a generator so that we can make a note of it on your account record. The line worker's greatest fear is the generator he doesn't know about, which could energize the line unexpectedly and put his life in peril.
