Butler Rural Electric Cooperative offers a safe and easy connection for portable generators. Members can protect what powers their home with a Trifecta manual transfer switch. A Trifecta is a meter base mounted transfer switch with a cord to use with a portable generator to power parts of your home, like your sump pump and refrigerator.

The cooperative provides free installation for these switches. Employees in our engineering department can calculate an appropriate size device for your home and what you plan to power with your generator. Members must have their own portable generator to use this device – Butler Rural Electric Cooperative does not sell portable generators.
