METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPLYING POWER TO A LOAD CIRCUIT FROM ALTERNATE ELECTRIC POWER SOURCES

摘要

An apparatus and method for supplying power to a load circuit from main a nd alternate electric power sources involves actuating a signal-controlled selector inside a housing, at least a portion of which is received in a breaker receptacle of an electric power distribution panel such that a first conduct or on the housing is operable to receive electric power from the electric power distribution panel and a second conductor on the housing is operable to receive electric power from an alternate electric power source, to selective ly connect the load circuit to the first conductor on the housing or to a secon d conductor on the housing operable to receive electric power from an alternat e electric power source, in response to a control signal.
