Next you will need to install your load circuit breakers
in the emergency panel. Again you can use any
combination of breakers that you want. The emergency
panel uses Square "D" circuit breakers type QO, if you
need to use the tandem breakers on the 120 circuit they
are type QO-T.
The final step will be to move your load leads from the
main distribution panel to the emergency panel.
TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Your first step in testing the Emergency panel will be
to close the circuit breaker in the main panel feeding
the Emergency panel. Check your voltage in the
emergency panel to insure you have the correct voltage
in all locations. Then close the utility circuit breaker in
the emergency panel.
2. Close your load breakers and make sure everything
that you have wired to the Emergency panel is working
properly on utility power.
3. Start the engine generator set and plug the power
cord into the generator. Check your voltages at the
bottom lugs on the generator circuit breaker (left 60 amp
breaker).
4. If the voltages are correct shut the utility breaker off
and move the generator breaker to the on position. The
generator should now be powering your connected
loads. Monitor the voltage coming from the generator
and make sure that it stays at the proper level.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Caution must be used when loading the generator,
overloading either of the 120 volt sides will cause the
breaker to trip disconnecting all the loads
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to properly limit and balance the load applied to
the generator will cause the generator to produce low
voltage and may damage the engine generator set. It
may also cause severe damage to the loads connected
to the generator at that time. Improper loading of the
generator set constitutes abuse and will not be covered
by warranty. 5. If the voltage from the generator should
drop too far, turn the generator side breaker off. This will
remove the load from the generator. At this point you are
going to have to determine why the voltage dropped.
Either you have it overloaded or the engine is not getting
enough fuel to carry the load.
6. After correcting the problem, retest the system
starting at step 3.
7. If everything tests ok, you can turn the generator
breaker off and turn the utility breaker back on. This is
how the system is left until you need the generator.
