Abstract
A system and method of interlocking a plurality of electrical panel switches includes an interlock assembly having an interlock. The interlock has a first position that allows connection of one of primary power and power from an alternate power supply, such as a generator, to the electrical panel and prevents connection of the other of the primary power and alternate power. The interlock has a second position that allows connection of the other of the primary power and alternate power and prevents connection of one of the primary power and alternate power to the electrical panel. The interlock also is constructed to control the positioning and sequence of operation of neutral connections between the power supplies and the electrical panel.
