DANGER! Connection of a generator to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric
utility shall be by means of suitable transfer equipment so as to isolate the electric sys-
tem from utility distribution system when the generator is operating (Article 701 Legally
Required Standby Systems or Article 702 Optional Standby Systems, as applicable). Failure
to isolate electric system by these means may result in damage to generator and may result
in injury or death to utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
