Transfer switches
Transfer switches
(OP)
I have a customer with a co-gen plant who wishes to connect to 4160V utility power to use when the generator is down. I am thinking about a manual transfer switch. Would it be more cost effective to utilize standard breakers with relay interlocking to prevent two sources of power to be energized at the same time?

"Kirk-key" circuit-breaker interlocks may be another option.
