Next you will need to pull four wires from the main

panel to the emergency panel. The wire size will
depend on what amperage breaker you are using. The
two Hot leads will attach to the right hand 60 amp
breaker. The neutral and ground will be attached to the
appropriate bars in the emergency panel.

You will also need to install four leads from the 'J' box

to the emergency panel. These leads should be
attached to the cord set provided with the Emergency
Transfer Service Kit. The cord set is color coded the red
and black leads are hot , white is neutral and green is
ground. Be sure to mark your leads before installation
to insure that they get attached in the Emergency panel
correctly. All connections in the 'J' box should be
watertight. The red and black leads will attach to the
left hand 60 amp circuit breaker in the emergency panel.
The white will be routed to the neutral bar and the green
to the ground bar.

INSTALLATION

The first step will be to install the 'J' box on the outside

of the house and the Emergency Load Distribution Panel
next to your existing distribution panel. Remember the
circuits you take out of the main panel will be reinstalled
in the emergency panel, so these should be as close
together as possible.

Next you need to install a two pole (240 Volt) circuit

breaker in the current distribution panel. This circuit
breaker should be sized according to the load you are
going to wire into the emergency panel. But in no case
can it exceed the 60 amp breaker rating in the Emer-
gency panel.
