Section 2 — Installation

Generac “V” Type and “Y” Type Transfer Switch

2.1INTRODUCTION TO INSTALLATION

This equipment has been wired and tested at the fac- tory. Installing the switch includes the following pro- cedures:

•Mounting the enclosure.

•Connecting power source and load leads.

•Connecting the generator start circuit.

•Installing/connecting any options and accessories.

•Testing functions.

2.2UNPACKING

Carefully unpack the transfer switch. Inspect closely for any damage that might have occurred during shipment. The purchaser must file with the carrier any claims for loss or damage incurred while in tran- sit.

Check that all packing material is completely removed from the switch prior to installation.

Attach any lifting device to the transfer switch mount- ing holes or brackets only. DO NOT LIFT THE SWITCH AT ANY OTHER POINT.

2.3MOUNTING

Transfer switch components are generally mounted in a standard NEMA 1 type enclosure (Figure 2.1). Other options are available such as NEMA 34 and NEMA 12.

Handle transfer switches carefully when

!installing. Do not drop the switch. Protect the switch against impact at all times, and against construction grit and metal chips. Never install a transfer switch that has been damaged.

Install the transfer switch as close as possible to the electrical loads that are to be connected to it. To pre- vent switch distortion, level all mounting points. If necessary, use washers behind mounting holes to level the unit.

2.4CONNECTING POWER SOURCE AND LOAD LINES

DANGER

Make sure to turn OFF both the normal (Utility) and standby (generator) power supplies before trying to connect power source and load lines to the transfer switch. Supply voltages are extremely high and dangerous. Contact with such high voltage power supply lines causes extremely hazardous, possibly lethal, electrical shock.

Wiring diagrams and electrical schematics are pro- vided in this manual. Power source and load connec- tions are made at a transfer mechanism, inside the switch enclosure.
