Default see if power is restored with interlock kit?
How you one tell if power is restored when you're using an interlock kit? and you have no neighbors. only thing I could think of was a fuse, a switch, and a bell.

I think it was reliance that made a little alarm that would go off when the power came back on, but don't see it on the website.
