01 / What changes

A more considered way to use portable power.

GenerLink connects the generator to the electrical system at the meter, giving you a practical way to bring essential circuits online during an outage.

Simple connection

Plug in. Start up. Make the call on what runs.

GenerLink gives a portable generator a dedicated connection at the meter. With one generator cord and the installed transfer switch in place, backup power starts with a clear, repeatable connection.

Whole-panel access

See the whole panel. Power what the generator can carry.

Power selected circuits and appliances through your home’s electrical panel and existing outlets. You can bring essential loads online while staying within the capacity of the portable generator.

A cleaner path

Skip the improvised maze of cords.

A meter-mounted installation can avoid extension cords through doors and windows. When the direct-install path fits, the manufacturer describes it as “zero-rewire,” with no breaker-panel changes. Existing service and installation requirements still need to be evaluated for each home.

02 / How it works

A simple sequence when the lights go out.

The installed GenerLink creates a direct, repeatable path between your portable generator and the home’s electrical system.

Set the panel

Turn off the home’s main breaker and all other breakers.

Make the connection

Plug the cable into GenerLink until it clicks.

Start the generator

Connect the GenerLok cord, then start the portable generator.

Bring up essentials

Turn on the main breaker and essential circuits while monitoring load.

03 / Fit + capacity

The generator sets the boundary.

GenerLink can provide access to selected circuits and appliances through the panel, but the portable generator’s capacity remains the limit. Load planning helps you decide what to run together during an outage.

30-amp GenerLink
