Generator control panel
4Control panel I made for my generator setup.

The control panel allows me to switch between grid (right side) and generator (middle). Since it was night I did not run the generator but used a variac instead for demonstration.
The ampere-meter barely lifts because the light doesn't consumes a lot of power. We have 230 Volts in Europe instead of 110V in the US, so our Amperage requirements are basically halved.
For this demonstration I bridged the switch output with the left side, which normally would show the readings from my UPS (Uninterruptible power supply). This was done with a normal extension cord (not shown).
The LEDs next to the switch are not connected yet but will show which source is available and which has been selected.
usually between the switch output and the left dials there would be an UPS.
The 3 sockets shown on the board are not affected by the switch setting. This allows you to plug in devices directly to the grid side of the board that you do not wish to run from UPS or generator, for example an A/C.
In case you were wondering, the plug system is from Switzerland.
