Installing a Generator Connector
A generator connector allows an external power generator to be connected to the cabinet to
sustain services during an AC power outage. The cabinet supports 30, 60, and 100 Amp
generator connectors. You can install a generator connector as described below. If the
cabinet is equipped with charged batteries, this procedure does not affect service.
DANGER!
High voltage may be present. Only a qualified electrician should
perform this task. Follow NEC and local codes when handling power
systems. Do not restore AC power until the task is complete.
To prepare for generator connector installation
1.
At the local power transfer switch, disconnect AC power to the cabinet.
Note:
If the cabinet is equipped with charged batteries, this action does not affect
service. The equipment automatically switches to battery reserve power.
2.
Open the splice compartment door.
3.
At the AC load center, switch the Main Service Disconnect and Main main circuit
breakers to
OFF
.
4.
Remove the cover panel from the AC load center.
5.
Remove the AC duct cover (two panels) as follows:
a.
Loosen (but do not remove) the mounting screws securing the duct cover panels to
the fixture.
b.
Slide the upper panel sideways to align its two keyholes with the two mounting
screws. When aligned, pull the panel away from the fixture.
c.
Slide the lower panel sideways to align its two keyholes with the two mounting
screws. When aligned, pull the panel away from the fixture.
6.
Remove the blank plate that covers the generator connector mounting fixture as follows:
a.
From inside the splice compartment, remove the nuts from the four studs anchoring
the blank plate to the cabinet wall.
Note:
Do not discard the four mounting nuts. The nuts will be reused to install the
generator connector.
b.
At the exterior front of the cabinet, remove the blank plate from the cabinet wall to
expose the connector mounting fixture.
