CONNECTIONS
NOTICE - CLASS 1 WIRING METHODS ARE TO BE USED FOR
ALL FIELD WIRING CONNECTIONS TO TERMINALS OF A
CLASS 2 CIRCUIT
Note: This symbol always indicates ground where shown.
All wiring must be completed in accordance with the Nation
Electric Code as well as any state or local codes.
You must pay particular attention to wire size requirement for
the amperage of service you are dealing with. The table below
provides you guidance on wire sizing based on both wire type
and amperage. Wire amperages have been derated for 40
o
C
ambient temperatures operation.

***** WARNING *****
*************
A main line circuit breaker has been provided inside the
generator housing. During all wiring installations make
sure the breaker is in the OFF position and the generator
operation switch is in the OFF position.
Neutral Lugs - DE20 has 100 amp neutral lugs. These lugs are
bonded to ground are provided for you to connect your neutral
wires to, from the transfer switch or load distribution center. The
lugs will accommodate #12 AWG to #1/0 Awg and should be
torqued to 50 in. lbs. The DE30 - DE65 & DE90 480 volt have
225 AMP neutral lugs and will accommodate #4 AWG to 300 MCM
and should be torqued to 250 in. lbs. The DE65 single phase and
DE90 except the 480 volt units have a 400 amp neutral block.
The 400 amp terminal block lugs will handle wire sizes #1 AWG to
400 MCM and should be torqued to 300 in. lbs.
Generator Circuit Breaker, This circuit breaker provides overload
protection for the generator. Your power feeds from the load
panel will connect to the open lugs on the circuit breaker. The
generator power feeds have already been wired into one set of
lugs.
The table below gives you the circuit breaker size, lug wire sizes
and torque specification. (see the actual breaker for additional
information and restrictions)

Ground Lug , These ground lugs are bonded to ground and have
a neurtal to gound bond installed. They are provided for you
to connect your ground wire to. The lugs on the 45 kW through
90 kW will handle wire sizes #6 AWG to 300 MCM and should
be torqued to 250 in. lbs. The lugs on the 20 and 30 kW will
accommodate #10 AWG to 2/0 AWG and should be torqued to
200 in. lbs.
