Safe Use of Generators During Outages
If a storm knocks your power out and you use a generator, the PA Public Utility Commission urges you to connect the equipment you want to power directly to the outlets on the generator, not your home’s electrical system, which could shock or injure utility crews working on nearby power lines. Additional generator tips are available, click here. |
