NOTE: If used as a grounding conductor, the ground
stud/pigtail in the non-metallic units is provided to ground
metallic conduit when connecting to the non-metallic PIB.
5. Strip and insert incoming leads into terminals on
power inlet. Insert white wire (neutral) into nickel
plated screw terminal or white marking on the inlet.
6. Carefully fold wires into enclosure and reattach the
bottom assembly or inlet onto box with screw
removed earlier.
Connecting Power Source and
Load Lines
Installation and interconnection diagrams are provided in
the Drawings and Diagrams section of this manual.
NOTE: All installations must comply with national, state
and local codes. It is the responsibility of the installer to
perform an installation that will pass the final electrical
inspection.
Utility supply, generator, and customer load connections
are made at the transfer switch mechanism, inside the
switch enclosure.
Conductor sizes must be adequate to handle the
maximum current to which they will be subjected, based
on the 75°C column of tables, charts, etc. used to size
conductors. The installation must comply fully with all
applicable codes, standards and regulations.
NOTE: If aluminum conductors are used, apply corrosion
inhibitor to conductors. After tightening terminal lugs,
carefully wipe away any excess corrosion inhibitor.
Tighten terminal lugs to the torque values as noted on the
inside of the door.
Connect power source and load conductors to clearly
marked terminal lugs on transfer mechanism as follows:
1. Install a 2-pole, 50 Amp breaker in the main distri-
bution panel. This will be the utility (normal) power
source for transfer switch.
2. Customer LOAD leads are pre-wired at the factory.
NOTE: Conductors must be properly supported, of
approved insulative qualities, protected by approved
conduit, and of the correct wire gauge size in accordance
with applicable codes.
Connecting Front Panel Wiring
Use quick disconnect connector in wiring harness to
remove front panel during service or installation. Verify
power and load lines are disconnected any time the front
panel is removed.
Installing Branch Circuit
Conductors – USA Installations
1. Select which branch circuits will be protected by
the generator in the normal power panelboard.
2. Turn OFF circuit breaker in the normal power
panelboard.
3. Remove ungrounded (hot) conductor from circuit
breaker and neutral conductor from the neutral
terminal bar in the normal power panelboard.
NOTE:
Multi-wire branch circuits must be connected to
circuit breakers adjacent to each other. If the circuit to be
protected is part of a multi-wire branch circuit, the entire
multi-wire branch circuit must be relocated to the transfer
switch panelboard (See NEC 210.4). Branch circuit wiring
can be removed from the normal power panelboard and
installed in the transfer switch panelboard, or spliced onto
new branch circuit wiring originating from the transfer
switch panelboard.
4. If the normal power panelboard is being used as a
junction box for the protected branch circuit
conductors, install the 12 inch (30.5 cm) conduit,
raceway(s), or other approved wiring method
between the transfer switch panelboard and
normal power panelboard.
5. Install properly sized branch circuit conductors
between the transfer switch panelboard to the
branch circuit conductors to be protected by the
transfer switch, if not using factory supplied wiring.
6. Use listed wire nuts or any other approved
termination device to connect the branch circuit
conductors.
7. Install provided label on the existing panelboard
indicating location of the disconnecting means for
the pass-through conductors.
8. If the generator protected branch circuit conductors
are being re-installed into the transfer switch
panelboard, punch the required sized hole(s) for
the cable, conduit, or raceway.
9. Route branch circuit conductors into transfer switch
and terminate the equipment ground conductor on
the equipment ground terminal bar, the neutral on
Electrocution. Turn utility and emergency
power supplies to OFF before connecting
power source and load lines. Failure to do so
will result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
Equipment damage. Verify all conductors are tightened
to the factory specified torque value. Failure to do so
could result in damage to the switch base.
