Keep the Power On and Linemen Safe with a Generlink Device
During a major power outage, the last thing you want is to be inconvenienced for an extended period of time. If you’re looking for a safe and simple way to connect a portable generator to your home and keep your essential electrical items running, a Generlink device is worth considering.
The Generlink device can be installed behind your home’s electric meter by Pioneer Electric Cooperative personnel, providing a safe and straightforward connection for a portable generator. The process is easy: Turn off the appliances on your breaker panel, plug your generator into the Generlink, start your generator, and then turn on your appliances from the breaker panel.
With Generlink, there’s no need for hazardous extension cords or expensive installations of transfer switches or subpanels. Plus, it eliminates the danger of backfeeding onto the power lines, which can create a hazardous situation for Pioneer’s linemen who are working to restore your power. Generlink automatically disconnects your home from the electric distribution system while you’re operating your generator, ensuring your home stays powered until you turn off your generator. Once the generator is off, Generlink seamlessly switches your home back to utility power.
Generlink also offers flexibility, allowing you to power any electrical load or appliance in your home up to your generator’s capacity — just not all at once. Extension cords and transfer switches limit your ability to operate many of the appliances you may need during a power outage. Additionally, Generlink offers an optional meter-based surge protection feature, which protects your hardwired appliances from surges over 600 volts.
Purchasing a Generlink device can be done directly through Generlink, and it will be shipped to your home. When you receive your device, contact Pioneer to sign the agreement and arrange for installation by Pioneer personnel, free of charge.
