But as noted by Vince Maione, region president of Atlantic City Electric Company, “properly installed and operated generators can eliminate the problem”.
“There are (3) critical factors to a properly installed and operated generator” said Jim Rowland, managing partner of Quality Electric Service
“Only when each of these is in place, can a homeowner or business owner be certain that their portable or permanent standby power system meets all safety requirements:
1.
There
must be a transfer switch (manual or automatic) to make it physically
impossible for the generator power to be accidentally connected to the utility
grid
2.
Have
the generator system installed by a technician that is trained and certified by
the manufacturer of the equipment to assure that the installation meets all
warranty requirements
3.
An
inspection of the entire generator system by the local Construction Official
provides an independent confirmation that all minimum safety codes and
standards are satisfied
