Abstract: A meter hub safety isolation service entrance disconnect switch includes an enclosure configured to mount outside a building and protect contents of the enclosure from ingress of solid foreign objects or the ingress of rain, sleet, or snow and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure. The enclosure has a dead front cover and removable outside cover in which the outside cover is marked to inform a first responder that the enclosure contains a disconnect switch. The disconnect switch is operable upon removal of the outside cover while the dead front cover remains in place and includes a multi-pole switch having poles sufficient to convey power, neutral and ground as may be required by an electrical power source for a load center serving the premises, the switch opening poles for power and neutral upon actuation, while maintaining the ground of the premises wiring.

Abstract: A power system including an improved automatic power transfer device having an emergency isolation control that prevents a common load from at once being powered by a main and auxiliary power source, and eliminates any possibility of back feeding the main power source from the auxiliary power source.

Abstract: A power system including a power transfer device that prevents a common load from at once being powered by a main and auxiliary power source, and eliminates any possibility of back feeding the main power source from the auxiliary power source. First and second circuit breakers are mounted side by side in reversely positioned relationship and have handles joined by a coupler, so that movement of the coupler in either direction opens one circuit breaker and closes the other one.
