My contractor suggested a meter-socket transfer switch. What does it do?

Gentran Corporation: Generator Transfer switches for home & ...
A meter-based transfer switch combines a meter socket and transfer switch in one. Since there are so many restrictions and requirements on meter sockets outlined by each utility, Gen/Tran has chosen not offer a combination utility meter and transfer switch. However, our Power Center combines a transfer switch with service entrance equipment. All of Honda's EB Series generators have a "total generator GFCI" which trips instantly when used with a transfer switch.
