Section 2 – Installation

QUIETPACT™ 65D Recreational Vehicle Generator

This generator set is equipped with dual-stator AC power windings. These two-stator windings supply electrical power to customer electrical loads by means of a dual, two-wire connection system.

◆ 2.6.4 CONDUIT

Route the connections between the generator and the junction box through approved, flexible conduit. The following general rules apply:

•All wiring, conduit, and interconnections must be installed in compliance with applicable codes, standards, and regulations.

•Cut wiring to the required length, and allow extra wire for junction box connections.

•Carefully prepare conduit ends to prevent sharp edges from cutting through wiring insulation.

•Route conduit so it does not interfere with genera- tor movement.

•If you use metallic conduit, vapor-seal the end of the conduit where it enters the junction box. Do this because flexible metallic conduit is not vapor- proof along its entire length.

•All openings in the generator compartment for the passage of wiring and conduit must be sealed and made vapor-tight.

NOTE:

Use a high-quality silicone rubber base sealant or other approved method (such as, explosion-proof fittings) to seal such openings.

◆2.6.5 POWER SUPPLY CORD

The power supply cord must comply with all applic- able codes, standards, and regulations. It must be large enough to handle the full amperage to which it will be subjected.

◆2.6.6 GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS

The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70, 551-7) requires that you install ground-fault circuit inter- rupters (GFCIs) on all external and some internal electrical receptacles. Contact your manufacturer or dealer for recommendations.

◆2.6.7 ISOLATING DIFFERENT POWER SOURCES

Connections from the junction box must terminate in

adouble-pole, double-throw transfer switch (Figure 2.17). An alternate method for isolating different power sources includes using an isolating receptacle (Figure 2.18 on page 32). Whichever method you use, you must be certain that both power sources are NOT connected at the same time.
