We have here a very general cut off switch box for incoming grid electric current. There are some very important steps to take when running the wires in terms of wire gauge , length, and color each of those factors needs to be considered as they would yield the install as safe, fire prone, and within regulations. The upper terminal houses direct current coming off a power generating system such as a generator, or solar power system. The lower area houses the power coming from the grid of the home. The cut off switch is NOT always the best choice for joining power systems, but they are ideal INSTEAD of trying to connect DC directly to AC currents! Lots of important factors to Consider here if you want to avoid a fire and potential total loss of units.
