The switch I would think would be after the generator as well.....

With what I am reading in this thread it sounds like NHEC is the driver of this switch at the meter.... and the reason, is not safety related at all if that is the case.... They want to be able to easily shut your power off, and then lock it.... so that if you turn it back on, you have gone through effort to do so, and there lawsuit is easier to win, if you chose the wrong effort and did it yourself....
