Step 2: Install power cables. Cables shall be sized and
installed per National Electrical Code, refer to NFPA70.
The cable must be sized within the specified cable size
range on the side of the cable connectors.          

Connect cables and torque to correct value indicated on
the label near the lugs in the following order: [1] Load
Cables

*

(T1, T2, T3), [2] Normal or Utility Supply (N1,

N2, N3), [3] Emergency and Generator Supply (E1, E2,
E3). For 4 pole transfer switches, connect load cables
(T4), normal or utility supply (N4), and emergency or
generator supply (E4). Refer to Figure for the location
of all parts discussed in this document. 

*

Load cables on switches using the vertical design MUST be

connected and torqued BEFORE installing the SUPPLY
cables (Figures and 4).
