Generator Safety

Generators can cause a serious safety problem if improperly installed and could cause injury to utility workers and the general public. 

All backup generator installations must have a transfer switch installed in accordance with the requirements of the National Electric Code. Transfer switch installations must be inspected by the State Electrical Inspector.

KEC Members must provide KEC with a copy of the State Electrical Permit for the transfer switch installation and notify KEC of generator installation.

Kootenai Electric tracks where back up generators are installed on its system and requests that all members that have installed them call Kootenai Electric at 208-765-1200.
