California = no power

any of yall ever heard of this CONNECTION HUB

It seems more viable for connection, i dont mind the manual transfer of
the HUB...the benefit i see is that i dont have to WIRE in a
transfer panel or SELECT <ahead of time> what circuits i want
to be on the generator !

w/ the connection hub i can pick and choose as needed which circuits
i want to use.

I have NOT been able to find where i can purchase such a hub though...

does that include a way to NOT energize the power companies lines from your house, say like when a lineman is working on the lines
thats the whole idea with a transfer switch in rv's it allows full genny power and no feed back into teh utility lines.

i cant imagine that it would NOT include the isolation...'specially considering
the fact that its a power company thats selling it

its a MANUAL transfer...the selection/breaker provides the connection to
the generator or the utility supply...its one or the other not BOTH...and manually
selected...which im fine w/.

I havent...for one they sell and install it, in virginia only i presume...since
its dominion power. Additionally its WAY expensive @ 900 bucks...hell
automatic transfer panels arent 500 bucks...and this HUB is less
complicated than any transfer panel, thats for sure.

I will contact 'em though to see what info i can get.

*AND* AUTOMATIC TRANSFER...@ the meter, so no re-wire required !

we've been lucky here. no power loss yet, and the temps have only been in the 80's on the coast

man those "transfer hubs"....are RETAILING at $1200+ when i said sheesh
you can buy a HUGE automatic transfer panel for 300-500 all they could
say was...yeah but youll spend 500+ in having an electrician do the wiring
of the panel...so that justifies a 3x expense !?!

i dont think so ('specially when i can do the sub/transfer panel myself !
