Power Connections

Compare this illustration with the generator to familiarize yourself with the location of these connections.
B
A - Power Connection (Line 1 and Line 2) - Power
connection to transfer switch.
B - Neutral Connection - Connect to transfer switch
neutral.
C - Ground Connection - Connect to transfer switch
ground.
Ground the generator per applicable codes, standards,
and regulations. There are two generator GND lug
locations. The location shown by (C, above) should
suffice for most applications. The second generator
GND lug is located on the frame below the generator
circuit breaker cover. This should ONLY be used for a
ground rod located at the generator, if required by local
codes.
For system connections such as remote start, e-stops,
and controller inputs and outputs, please refer to the
connection diagram on the following page.
A
• For power output connection, use 300 volt, 167
-194°F (75-90°C) wire. See chart below for proper
wire size.
• For utility circuit connection, use #14 AWG minimum
300 volt, 167-194°F (75-90°C) wire.
• For transfer switch communication, use #18 AWG
twisted pair conductors, no greater than 200 ft (60 m)
in length, 300 volt, 167-194°F (75-90°C) wire.
