How Interlock Kits Operate
Operating an interlock kit is simple. Here's how:
- Start the portable generator outside.
- Turn the main breaker off.
- Slide the interlock plate.
- Turn the generator breaker on to power the selected circuits.
A typical 30-amp 120/240-volt generator powers essentials such as lights, refrigeration and a few outlets. LED lighting reduces electrical load, enabling you to support more circuits with a compact unit.

Sizing a Portable Generator for Homes in Land O' Lakes
The right generator keeps essential circuits running efficiently without overloading the system. Here's how to choose the right size for your home:
- Identify essential loads: List lighting, appliances and devices you need to run.
- Compare wattage requirements: Check running and starting watts on the essential items.
- Choose the right size for efficiency: Ensure steady power without excess capacity.
