What is the purpose of a generator transfer switch?

Think of a transfer switch as a miniature circuit breaker panel that draws electricity from your generator instead of the power company. When Electric Service is out in your area, you plug your portable generator into an outdoor outlet that's connected, through the house, to a transfer switch inside.
