Hi,
I think I was very confusing the first time so hope no one minds if I try again. I was able to find a better picture of what I have, zoom in on the inner picture.
The wiring to my panel box from the transfer switch are two black wires wired to the top two legs and a silver ground wire to the bottom leg. There is no white wire.
The generator has a red and black to the third leg and a white and green to the forth (where the silver and white wires attach)
The main panel has a wire exiting that goes to the water pipe and another line outside to a single ground rod.
I have a Honda generator. The idea is that when I want to use it I plug it in and pull the switch on the transfer box and this cuts off the connection to the meter and street.
Please let me know if this is correct or how it should be fixed. Thanks for putting up with a second try about this.
Greatly appreciated!
