ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Incorrect installation of the generator set could result in property damage, injury, or death! Installation of this generator set must be performed by qualified / professional technicians or contractors.
This information is for general reference only! It must not be used as
the single source of information for installing the generator set. For more specific/detailed information read the installation manual that accompanied the generator set as well as the transfer switch manual.
There are two main wiring circuits that must be installed by a licensed electrician to properly interface your Baldor Pow'R Gard generator set with your transfer switch and the building/facility it will be providing power to. The connection on the generator set consists of two terminal blocks, which are located on the generator set.
On units with the factory installed enclosure, the connection box is located in the engine enclosure bulkhead. Access to the customer connection box is achieved by removing the appropriate louvered enclosure end panel (See Drawing on following page).
On units without the factory installed enclosure the customer connection box is located either above the generator windings or it is mounted on the generator frame next to the unit.
REMOTE START CONNECTIONS
These terminal block- connecting points (See figure 1) are where you connect the two wires from the remote start contacts of the transfer switch. Once a connection is made across these connecting points (via the transfer switch or some other switch device), a circuit is completed to the control logic of the generator set causing the unit to start. The unit will remain running until this connection is opened. Once the remote start connection is opened, the logic circuitry allows the engine to run for approximately
