The GenerLink 40‑amp surge meter‑mounted transfer switch is designed to connect a portable generator directly to a home’s electrical panel through the electric meter socket. It installs behind the utility meter and delivers generator power to existing circuits without requiring a subpanel or internal rewiring. The device is UL‑listed as a meter‑mounted transfer switch and is intended for residential services rated at 200 amps or less.

 

This 40‑amp configuration includes integrated whole‑home surge protection and accepts generator input through a 14‑50 plug connection. Power is distributed through the main breaker panel up to the capacity of the connected generator, while the switch mechanically prevents back feeding into utility lines. Installation is performed by utility personnel or a licensed electrician, subject to local utility approval.

Please note: Installation of a GenerLink requires prior approval from your local utility company. We recommend confirming your approval status with your electric provider.
