TW INSTRUCTIONS (new main).doc 02/16/05
For generator connections and operation follow the generator manufacturer’s instructions, as well
as all applicable code requirements.
Your generator must have a combination 120/240 volt output, which duplicates that provided by the
electric utility. The two 240 volt hot legs of this output must be connected to the two Generator
circuit breaker terminals. The neutral of this output must be connected to the transfer panel neutral
bar, thus providing the required combination 120/240 volt input. To facilitate connection to the
transfer panel, a remotely located Power Inlet Box such as the Reliance Cat. No. PB30 or PB50
may be convenient.
OPERATION
TRANSFERRING FROM UTILITY POWER TO GENERATOR POWER
1. Move Main (Utility) circuit breaker handle to the “OFF” position.
2. Move all branch circuit breaker handles to the “OFF” position.
3. Push the slide mechanism in a direction so that it clears the Generator breaker handle then
move Generator circuit breaker handle to the “ON” position.
4. Insert the male power cord connector plug into the appropriate outlet on the generator.
5. Plug the female end of the power cord from the generator into the power inlet that is
interconnected to the transfer panel. Rotate to lock.
6. Start the generator, following the procedures described in the generator owner’s manual
furnished by the generator manufacturer.
7. Select the circuits to be powered by the generator by moving the corresponding branch circuit
breaker handles to the “ON” position. Alternate use of larger loads such as furnace motors, well
pumps, freezers, etc., so that the capacity of the generator is not exceeded. Do not attempt to
operate any loads in excess of the capacity of the generator.
TRANSFERRING FROM GENERATOR POWER BACK TO UTILITY POWER
1. Follow the procedures in the generator owner’s manual to turn off the generator.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Move the Generator circuit breaker handle to the “OFF” position.
4. Move the slide mechanism until it clears the main breaker handle.
5. Move the Main circuit breaker handle to the “ON” position.
6. Return all branch circuit breaker handles to the “ON” position.
To insure that your generator will always be ready when you need it, it is very important to run it
under load on a regular basis and to keep the tank filled with fresh fuel. Perform the above
operating steps at least once a month to keep the generator properly exercised.
