Yes, another good choice. Thanks John.

As of now, my favorite plan is as follows.

1. Install a premade interlock kit rather than dick around with
relays. Mostly for legal reasons.

2. Also have a mag starter style switch in the line from generator to
the power panel, to help prevent arcing in the circuit breaker that is
used to feed the panel.

I'm not sure what your concern for arcing in the circuit breaker is about.
Circuit breakers are made to be turned on and off under load. You could
always install wiring and a circuit breaker bigger than the rated capacity
of your generator.
