Connect Your Portable Generator to Your Home with GenerLink™

Keep essential household appliances powered during an outage with the GenerLink™ automatic meter-mounted transfer switch. Designed to connect a compatible portable generator to your home's electrical panel through the electric meter, GenerLink provides a convenient alternative to conventional transfer switch installations.

With 30A and 40A configurations available, you can choose a model based on your generator's output, electrical requirements, and backup-power needs. An included 20-foot GenerLok power cable connects your compatible generator to the unit.

Before ordering: Check your generator's compatibility and confirm your utility provider's installation requirements.

Why Choose a GenerLink Transfer Switch?

  • Meter-mounted design: Connects a compatible portable generator to your home's electrical system through the meter.
  • Convenient backup power: Use your home's existing breaker panel to select which circuits and appliances to operate, within your generator's available capacity.
  • Built-in backfeed protection: Designed to prevent generator power from feeding back into the utility line when correctly installed and operated.
  • No dedicated subpanel required: The meter-mounted design avoids the need for a separate generator subpanel in a compatible installation.
  • Optional surge protection: Select an available configuration with surge protection if needed.
  • GenerLok power cable included: Comes with a 20-foot cable designed for use with GenerLink.

Choose the Right GenerLink Model

The right configuration depends on your generator's output, connector, and the electrical loads you want to operate during an outage.

GenerLink 30A

The 30A model supports up to 7,200 watts and includes a 20-foot GenerLok power cable with an L14-30 locking connector. Choose this configuration if it matches your generator's outlet and your backup-power requirements.

GenerLink 40A

The 40A model supports up to 9,600 watts and includes a 20-foot GenerLok power cable with a 14-50 straight-blade connector. The connector type does not increase the unit's 40A rating.

Confirm the exact options available on this product page before ordering. Generator output, startup demands, and simultaneous appliance use all affect how much equipment you can operate.

Is GenerLink Compatible with Your Generator?

GenerLink is not compatible with every portable generator. Before purchasing, verify that your generator meets the requirements for the selected model, including its voltage, outlet configuration, and electrical output.

Also confirm that your home's electrical service and meter setup are compatible. GenerLink is designed for compatible single-phase residential electrical systems with service ratings up to 200A.

Review the GenerLink installation and operation guides or contact Hutch Mountain if you need help checking your setup.

Installation Requirements

GenerLink is installed at the electric meter and must be installed by the utility company or a qualified, licensed electrician, as permitted by local requirements and your utility provider.

Before ordering:

  1. Contact your utility provider to confirm whether it approves a meter-mounted GenerLink installation.

  2. Verify that your meter, electrical service, and generator meet the manufacturer's requirements.

  3. Arrange installation through an authorized utility provider or qualified electrician.

  4. Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions when connecting and using your generator.

Installation requirements and costs vary by utility provider and location. Do not attempt to install the unit yourself.

For additional information, visit the GenerLink Installation Guide or the Hutch Mountain Support Hub.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GenerLink?

The Generlink is a device that allows you to connect your portable generator directly to your home's power electrical system.

How does GenerLink work?

After the unit has been properly installed, connect a compatible portable generator using the supplied GenerLok cable and follow the manufacturer's operating instructions. The transfer switch manages the connection between utility power and generator power to help prevent backfeeding into the utility line.

GenerLink does not eliminate the need to start, operate, and monitor your portable generator according to its instructions.

Is the 40A GenerLink a 50-amp transfer switch?

No. The 40A GenerLink is rated for up to 40 amps. Its included cable uses a 14-50 connector, but the connector type does not change the transfer switch's rated capacity.

What is the difference between the 30A and 40A GenerLink?

The 30A model supports up to 7,200 watts and uses an L14-30 locking connector. The 40A model supports up to 9,600 watts and uses a 14-50 straight-blade connector. Choose based on your generator's specifications and the electrical loads you need to support.

Will GenerLink work with any portable generator?

No. Your generator must meet the selected GenerLink model's electrical and connector requirements. Check the manufacturer's compatibility information before ordering, and contact Hutch Mountain if you are unsure which model is appropriate.

How much does a GenerLink transfer switch cost?

The price depends on the selected model and available options, including surge protection. Check the current price displayed on this page before ordering. Installation costs may be additional and vary by utility provider, electrician, and installation method.

Does GenerLink require professional installation?

Yes. Installation must be performed by the utility company or a qualified, licensed electrician, as permitted by local requirements and your utility provider. Contact your utility company before purchasing to confirm approval and installation requirements.

Does GenerLink prevent backfeeding?

GenerLink is designed to prevent generator power from feeding back into the utility line when properly installed and operated. Correct installation and compliance with the manufacturer's safety instructions are essential.

Is surge protection included with GenerLink?

Surge protection depends on the configuration selected. Review the available options and product specifications to confirm whether your chosen model includes it.

Can GenerLink be used with a solar power system?

Compatibility depends on your solar equipment and electrical configuration. If your home has solar panels or battery storage, consult the GenerLink documentation, a qualified electrician, and your solar provider before purchasing or operating the unit.

What happens when utility power returns?

Follow the operating instructions for your specific GenerLink configuration when utility power returns. The generator must be operated and disconnected according to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not assume the portable generator itself will start or shut down automatically.
