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 a 30 Amp generator connector option, which you can install in the field. If the cabinet is
equipped with charged batteries, this procedure does not affect service.
Note:
Clearfield recommends a generator size of 240 VAC.
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
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.
Open the front cabinet door.
Install a circuit breaker for the Gen Conn circuit into the load center as follows:
a.
Remove the right panel from the AC load center.
b.
At the AC load center, switch the Gen Conn (if present) and Main circuit breakers to
OFF
.
c.
Install the Gen Conn circuit breaker:
• Get the Gen Conn breaker from the shipping package.
• Set the switch to
OFF
.
• Insert the breaker to the right of the Main breaker.
•
Install the supplied interlock between the Gen Conn and Main breakers (DO NOT use generator input
without this interlock).
Remove the blank plate that covers the mounting fixture as follows:
a.
At the exterior side of the cabinet, use a tool for tamper-resistant fasteners to remove the (4) security screws
anchoring the blank plate to the cabinet wall.
Note:
Do not discard the four mounting screws. The screws will be reused to install the generator connector.
b.
Pull the blank plate away from the cabinet wall to expose the connector mounting fixture.
