ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Connect the utility power leads from the meter to the main
Utility circuit breaker in the load center.
During installation, be careful to torque the lugs on all circuit
breakers to the specifications listed in the load center Owner’s
Manual.
2. If the load center is being installed with a generator, locate
and install the load center operator. Refer to the installation
instructions packed with the operator for installation details.
3. Connect the generator power leads to the generator feed
breaker. This is the 2 pole breaker directly below the operator
on the right side of the load center.
4. Connect the neutral wire from the utility and generator to the
neutral bar on the right side of the load center panel and the
generator equipment ground wire to the ground bar on the left
side of the load center panel.
5. Connect the customer loads to the load center. The breakers
above the operator are used for loads which will not be
backed up during a power outage. Connect these loads to the
appropriate sized breakers in the load center. When selecting
circuits, note that the breakers immediately above and below
the operator are dedicated for use by the generator and load
center, and may not be used for customer loads.
6. Next, connect the loads which are to be backed up. The
breakers below the operator will be backed up by the
generator during a power outage. Connect these loads to the
appropriate sized breakers in the load center.
7. If the generator is not being installed at this time, loads can
still be connected to the lower breakers. Simply make sure
the utility feed breaker, the 2 pole breaker directly below the
operator on the left side of the load center, is switched ON.
