ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
CAUTION:
Only qualified electricians should install electrical wiring.
Wiring must conform to all applicable national, state, and local
codes. (Reference: National Fire Protection Association
Manual No. 70, National Electrical Code.)
DANGER: PERSONAL INJURY
IF THE GENERATOR IS TO BE USED AS A STANDBY
POWER SOURCE, A SPECIAL DISCONNECT SWITCH
MUST BE INSTALLED TO SEPARATE THE GENERATOR
AND THE COMMERCIAL POWER LINES. THE
DISCONNECT MUST ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM
THE COMMERCIAL POWER LINES AND THE LOAD WHEN
THE GENERATOR IS ON STANDBY, AND MUST ISOLATE
THE COMMERCIAL POWER LINES FROM THE LOAD AND
THE GENERATOR WHEN THE GENERATOR IS SUPPLYING
POWER. SEE FIGURE 5.

If you require different inserts or contacts for local code,
WINCO has a variety of different inserts and contacts available.
Contact the factory at 507-357-6831 for pricing.
WARNING: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Never use acid core solder. When soldering insure no excess solder
runs down on the contact surface - Solder on the contact surface will
not allow the contacts to mate properly causing them to burn up.
Each wire should be stripped back 7/8 of an inch and inserted into
one of the contacts in the plug kit. You will then either need to solder
them together using a good grade of resin core solder or they can be
crimped with an appropriate compression crimper or both.
Approved Crimping tools are:
1. Anderson Power Products
2. ETC Model HHS hydraulic crimper
3. ITT Blackburn NO. 1640
4. T&B (Thomas & Betts) #TBM5
To complete the assembly of the disconnect plug refer to the instruction
sheet in the plug kit.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK
DURING THE NEXT STEP, THE LOAD DISCONNECT PLUG
SHOULD NOT BE PLUGGED INTO ITS RECEPTACLE. ALSO, MAKE
SURE THAT THE EQUIPMENT TO WHICH THE PLUG LEADS
(CABLES) ARE BEING CONNECTED IS NOT ENERGIZED (LIVE).
Strip the insulation off the free end of each of the plug leads (cables),
and connect them to the load transfer switch (or directly to the load).
