TRANSFER SWITCH
CONNECTIONS - Only allow Professional Electricians
The Lifan EnergyStorm generator is wired with the neutral bonded to ground. If you are connecting your generator
to a transfer switch, the electrician must first determine what type transfer switch is being used. Transfer switches
for this equipment are either two-pole or three- pole types.
A two-pole transfer switch will not switch the neutral from the generator to the service panel. That means the
generator will be grounded to the service panel. To use the generator with two-pole transfer switches, the
electrician will need to change the neutral from bonded to floating.
This is done by removing the jumper wire that connects the alternator ground to the alternator neutral. Remove
the jumper wire and retighten the connections. Keep the jumper wire with the owner’s manual in case it is needed
for future use when not connected to a transfer switch.
