Abstract: The electric meter interrupt device provides a means of connecting an external transfer switch and renewable and/or backup power sources at the nodes between the utility meter and the main panel. This method allows grid disconnect and whole home backup that almost never requires modification of an electrical panel or relocation of loads, using a UL approved transfer switch and overcurrent protection device. The device routes the entirety of available utility power away from the electric meter and then back into the electrical panel, allowing unprecedented control and capacity. Creating this “true bypass” allows for the introduction of renewable energy sources, battery power, and/or generator power sources.
