yes indeed … the idea is that when the power cuts out due to a storm or whatever I would shut off the main breaker and turn off all the individual breakers …then go out fire up the back up generator plug that into the inlet on the opposite side of the panel come back in turn on the breaker for the generator, and then slowly turn back on the breakers as I needed them… I need this type on the generator >>> 50 Amp, 125/250 Volt Straight-Blade Outletyour breaker has the transfer switch for going from shore power to generator ?
