10. Size all conductors, raceways, conduits, and
junction boxes, if required, to the applicable NEC
code articles and follow the NEC installation
requirements for the wiring method(s) selected.
NOTE: The 12 inch (30.5 cm) pre-wired whip can be
shortened if needed or removed and replaced with field
wiring. Factory-installed branch circuits and circuit
breakers can also be modified if needed. Follow all
applicable electrical codes for any field modification.
Installing Branch Circuit
Conductors – Canadian
Installations
1. Select which branch circuits will be protected by
the generator in the normal power panelboard.
Turn the circuit breaker in the normal power panel-
board to the off position.
2. Remove the ungrounded (hot) conductor from the
circuit breaker and neutral conductor from the
neutral terminal bar in the normal power
panelboard.
NOTE: 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.
3. The Canadian Electric Code prohibits the use of
the normal power panelboard as a junction box.
The generator protected branch circuit wiring must
be relocated to a properly sized junction box, or
reinstalled into the transfer switch panelboard.
4. Punch required sized hole(s) for the cable, conduit,
or raceway into the transfer switch.
5. Route the branch circuit conductors into the
transfer switch and terminate the equipment
ground conductor on the equipment ground
terminal bar, the neutral on the neutral terminal bar,
and the ungrounded (hot) on the circuit breaker
terminal.
6. Size all conductors, raceways, conduits, and
junction boxes, if required, to the applicable CEC
code articles and follow the CEC installation
requirements for the wiring method(s) selected.
NOTE: The 12 inch (30.5 cm) pre-wired whip can be
shortened if needed or removed and replaced with field
wiring. Factory-installed branch circuits and circuit
breakers can also be modified if needed. Follow all
applicable electrical codes for any field modification.
Installing Breakers
IMPORTANT NOTE: AFCI and GFCI circuit breakers
are not provided by the factory. If the circuits to be
protected require AFCI or GFCI protection, or both, then
listed protection shall be provided by the installer.
Factory-supplied breakers can be changed by the
installer. Install listed and labeled circuit breakers
compatible with the transfer switch (See Breakers
Listed for Use). Follow all applicable NEC and CEC
code articles for any field modifications.
Breakers Listed for Use
Multi listed for use with one inch (2.54 cm) standard,
tandem, GFCI and AFCI breakers from Siemens/Murray
type QP, Eaton type BR, and Square D type HOM. The
breakers shall not exceed 50 Amperes rating.
See Figure 3-2. Insert tab on the breaker (A) into hook
on bus (B). Push breaker into bus until it snaps into
place.

Portable Generator Grounding
Requirements
The Upgradeable Manual Transfer Switch is designed for
use with portable generators with a bonded neutral, and
used as a separately derived system. A grounding
system and a grounding electrode system shall be
connected to the ground terminal on the portable
generator. See NEC Article 250.30(A)(4) and (5) for code
compliance.
