Generac Portable Products Power Transfer System

DESCRIPTION

The Power Transfer System safely connects up to six vital

or essential household loads, such as the furnace fan,

freezer, refrigerator, water well pump, sump pump, or lights

to either the utility power or a portable generator. In the

event of a utility power failure, the homeowner can safely

select individual essential devices to be powered by an

outdoor portable generator. The power transfer system

will not permit connection to both utility and generator

power at the same time.

The Power Transfer System is easy for a licensed electrician

or qualified professional to install, safe for a homeowner to

operate, and will work with 240 Volt AC generators

factory equipped with a NEMA type L14-30R receptacle.

NOTE: The maximum load allowed through the Load

Manager™ switch is 7200 watts, 30 Amps at 240 VAC /

60 Amps at 120 VAC.

SAFETY RULES

Per National Electric Code, connection of a

generator to any electrical circuit normally powered

by an electric utility must be by means of approved

transfer switch equipment so as to isolate the

electrical circuit from the utility distribution system

when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate

the electrical circuits by such means may result in

injury or death to utility power workers due to

backfeed of electrical energy.

The Load Manager™ switch is suitable for use in

accordance with Article 702 of the National Electric

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. This switch is suitable for use

on a circuit capable of delivering not more than

1000A RMS, symmetrical current, 125/250V, when

installed on the load side of appropriate branch

circuit. For indoor use only. The connection box is a

NEMA type 3R, intended for outdoor use.

1. A licensed electrician or qualified professional

(referred to herein as “installer”) must install

the power transfer system per local code.

2. During installation, the installer is required to remove

the cover from the building power distribution panel

(referred to herein as a ‘load center’.) To reduce the

risk of electrical shock, the Main circuit breaker must

be turned OFF while the load center cover is

removed.

3. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR.

Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage

capacity will trip generator circuit breakers.

4. Contrary to generator owner’s manual, always plug the

connecting cord set into the connection box and

generator BEFORE starting the generator. Always shut

the generator down before detaching the cord set.

5. PORTABLE GENERATORS ATTACHED TO

THIS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM MUST BE

OPERATED OUTSIDE, in accordance with

warnings and instructions found in the generator’s

owner’s manual.

GENERATOR

COMPATIBILITY

Only use a generator that is

factory-equipped with a NEMA

L14-30R receptacle, shown in

Figure 18.

NEVER use a generator equipped

with a 3-prong 240V receptacle

because damage may occur in

connected appliances.

UNPACKING

Remove the Power Transfer System components shown in

Figure 1 from the shipping carton.

The Load Manager™ switch is completely prewired and

ready for installation. Inspect the switch and its attached

components for any shipping damage.

The connection box is supplied ready to be wired. Inspect

it, the connection cord set, and the connecting plugs for

any damage.

The installer will select and connect the appropriate

connection cord plug, as described in the Installation

Procedure, step 21.

Items Not Shipped with Power Transfer System:

The following items, required for system installation, are

not included and must be provided by the installer:

1. Tools required for installation

2. Anchors and screws to mount the power transfer

system components and conduit.

3. Junction box(s), conduit, fittings, wire nuts, and

insulated copper wire for connecting the Load

Manager™ switch to the outside connection box.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION

The installer and the homeowner decide which circuits are

to be powered by the generator during a utility power

outage:

• The plan should ensure that no single circuit load

exceeds 15 Amps.

• The plan should also identify circuits that exceed the

15 Amp maximum.

• During generator operation, the homeowner should use

only necessary household items and to alternate use of

larger loads, such as water pump, electric skillet, or

furnace fan. The installer will instruct the homeowner in

appropriate load management techniques.

Three methods of determining loads are given.

Measure Actual Loads

The installer uses a clamp-on ammeter to measure each of

the actual desired loads to ensure each total circuit draws

less than 15 Amps.

Sum Loads from Data Plates

The installer inspects each desired device, notes current

consumption found on labels on each appliance, then adds

all loads on each circuit:

• The rated current of appliances and motors can usually

be found on a data plate or decal affixed to the device.

• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs.

• Some electric motors, such as induction types, require

three times more power for starting than for running.

This surge of power lasts for only a few seconds when

starting such motors. Be sure to allow for starting load.

Estimate Loads

The third method estimates total circuit loads based on

information given in Figure 2.

INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

Load Manager™ Switch

Before removing the load center cover, plan where to

mount the Load Manager™ switch. Hold the Load

Manager™ switch about 18 inches from the center of the

load center, as shown in Figure 3.

1. Ensure there is enough room to mount the Load

Manager™ switch to properly connect the flex conduit

to the load center.

2. Identify an appropriate vacant load center 3/4”

knockout.

DANGER! Contact with wires and terminals

inside the load center must be avoided as contact

may result in dangerous electrical shock. Before

removing the load center cover, switch OFF the

main circuit breaker serving the load center.

Remember that wires on the line side of the main

circuit breaker are electrically dangerous.

3. Turn OFF the load center’s main circuit breaker, then

remove the load center cover.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

The Load Manager™ switch is equipped with six three-

position switches. The switch positions labeled “LINE” are

used for connecting the essential devices to the utility

power source. The switch positions labeled “OFF” are used

for load management. The switch positions labeled “GEN”

are used for connecting desired circuits to the generator

power source. The following sections describe appropriate

use of these Load Manager™ switches.

Switch To Generator Power

To switch to generator power after a utility power failure:

1. Ensure all Load Manager™ switches are in “LINE”

position, as shown in Figure 20.

2. Align the female socket of the connecting cord set

with the connection box receptacle’s mating male

prongs, as shown in Figure 21. Push cord set

connector in and twist clockwise to lock.

3. Align the male prongs on the other end of the cord set

with the mating female terminals of the generator’s

240V receptacle, as shown in Figure 22. Push in

connector and twist clockwise to lock.

4. Ensure generator is OUTDOORS and fluids and fuel

are topped-off.

5. Start the generator using instructions given in the

generator owner’s manual.

Figure 20 — Switches in LINE Position

Figure 21 — Connection Box Connection

Figure 22 — Align Connectors at Generator

Generac Portable Products Power Transfer System

6. At the Load Manager™ switch, switch desired circuits

from “LINE” position to “GEN” position (as shown in

Figure 23).

Load Management

The number of circuits that can be operated simultaneously

during a utility failure will depend on the wattage capacity of

your generator. Most portable generators do not have

the capacity to handle loads on all Load Manager™

switch circuits at the same time.

Review the load management plan developed with the

installer (see “Plan the Installation” on page 3). It may be

necessary to selectively turn on and off certain loads while

using generator power so that necessary appliances can be

operated safely.

The watt meters provided on the Load Manager™ monitor

the current draw through each set of three circuits. For

example, circuits “A”, “B”, and “C” are monitored by the

lower left meter. When switching loads to the GEN

position, watch the watt meter to ensure that maximum

current levels are not exceeded and that each meter’s load

is similar (balanced).

Switch To Utility Power

To revert from generator power to utility power

after utility power is restored:

1. At the Load Manager™ switch, place all switches in

“LINE” position, as shown previously in Figure 20.

2. Shut off the generator.

3. Disconnect the connecting cord set from the

generator and the connection box.

Testing

Following installation and periodically thereafter,

test the power transfer system as follows:

1. Ensure that all Load Manager™ switches are at “LINE”

position (see Figure 20).

2. Connect the connection cord set to the building’s

connector box (see Figure 21).

3. At the generator, connect the other end of the

connection cord set to the generator (see Figure 22).

4. Start the generator.

5. At the Load Manager™ switch, set the “A” switch to

“GEN” position, as shown in Figure 24. Verify that the

“A” circuit load is operating properly. Return the “A”

switch to the “LINE” position.

6. Repeat Step 5, above, for each of the other load

management circuits.

Circuit Breakers in Load Manager™

Switch

Individual Load Manager™ switch circuits “A” through “F”

are each protected by a 15 Amp circuit breaker. These

breakers are labeled “A”, “B”, “C”, and so forth, as seen in

Figure 24, for example. If an electrical load on one of these

circuits exceeds 15 Amperes, the Load Manager™ switch

circuit breaker will open.

To reset the Load Manager™ switch breaker:

1. Eliminate the overload condition.

2. Place the switch with the tripped circuit breaker in

the “OFF” or middle position.

3. Press in the circuit breaker button and observe that

the button remains in.

4. Place the switch that was in the OFF position back to

GEN (or LINE, if that is what is desired).

PLAN LA INSTALACIÓN

El instalador y el propietario del local decidirán qué

circuitos deberán ser alimentados por el generador durante

un corte en el suministro de energía eléctrica:

• El plan deberá garantizar que ninguna de las cargas de los

circuitos exceda los 15 Amps.

• El plan deberá identificar también aquellos circuitos que

excedan el nivel máximo de 15 Amps.

• Durante la operación del generador, el propietario de la

casa deberá utilizar sólo los enseres caseros necesarios y

alternar el uso de cargas mayores, tales como los de la

bomba del agua, el sartén eléctrico, o el ventilador del

horno. El instalador instruirá al propietario del local las

técnicas apropiadas de administración de cargas.

Ofrecemos tres métodos para determinar las cargas.

Medir las Cargas Actuales

El instalador utiliza un amperímetro para medir cada carga

deseada con el objetivo de asegurar que el total de los

circuitos sea menor a 15 Amps.

Sumar la Cargas de las Placas de Datos

El instalador inspecciona cada aparato deseado, observa el

consumo actual encontrado en las estiquetas de cada uno

de los enseres, y después añade todas las cargas a cada

circuito.

• La tasa de corriente para enseres y motores puede

encontrarse por lo general en la placa de datos pegada al

dispositivo.

• El wattaje de las luces puede medirse desde los focos de

luz.

NOTAS:

• Algunos motores eléctricos, tales como los de tipo de

inducción requiere tres veces más energía para iniciar la

operación que para sostenerla. Esta carga de energía

dura sólo unos segundos cuando se inicia dicho tipo de

motores. Asegúrese de permitir esta carga alta para

iniciar su funcionamiento.

Cargas Estimadas

El tercer método estima la carga total de circuito basados

en la información proporcionada en la Figura 26.

PROCEDIMIENTO DE

INSTALACIÓN

Interruptor del Load Manager™

Antes de quitar la cubierta del centro de carga, decida

donde colocará el interruptor del Load Manager™.

Sostenga el interruptor del Load Manager™ a una distancia

de aproximadamente 18 pulgadas desde la mitad del centro

de carga, tal y como se muestra en la Figura 27.

1. Cerciórese de que exista suficiente espacio para

colocar el interruptor del Load Manager™ y que sea

posible conectar el tubo flexible al centro de carga.

2. Identifique una ranura libre apropiada de 3/4" en el

centro de carga.

¡PELIGRO! Debe evitarse el contacto con

alambres y terminales dentro del centro de carga ya

que puede resultar en un choque eléctrico

peligroso. Antes de quitar la cubierta del centro de

carga, apague (OFF) el interruptor del circuito que

alimenta el centro de carga. Recuerde que los

alambres al lado del interruptor del circuito

principal son eléctricamente peligrosos.

3. Apague (OFF) el breaker del circuito principal del

centro de carga; después quite la cubierta del centro

de carga.

4. Remueva la ranura predeterminada. Todos los alambres

que se extienden desde el tubo flexible adherido al

interruptor del Load Manager™ através del agujero

vacío, tal y como se muestra en la Figura 28. Asegure

el conector del tubo al centro de carga con la tuerca

de seguridad incluida.

5. Fije el interruptor del Load Manager™ a la pared en la

posición seleccionada, tal y como se muestra en la

Figura 29.

Figura 29 - Fijación del Interrupor Load Manager™

Figura 27 - Planeación de la Localización del Interruptor

Figura 28 - Urdimbre del Alambre del Interruptor

Generac Portable Products Power Transfer System

6. Siguiendo el plan, determine la carga que será

conectada al circuito "A" del interruptor del Load

Manager™. Gire ese breaker del circuito del centro de

carga a su posición de apagado (OFF). Afloje el tornillo

que sostiene el alambre a su breaker y después

remueva el alambre. La Figura 30 muestra el alambre

de carga seleccionado removido de su circuito breaker.

7. Encuentre los alambre negro y rojos marcados "A" que

vienen desde el interruptor Load Manager™. Con

sumo cuidado, conduzca ambos alambres cerca del

breaker del circuito seleccionado. Corte y descubra el

alambre "A" e instálelo de manera apropiada en el

breaker del circuito.

8. Corte y descubra el alambre negro "A" para que

coincida con el alambre previamente removido del

breaker. Asegure el final del alambre a la tuerca del

alambre. Fije cuidadosamente los alambres al centro de

carga, tal y como se muestra en la Figura 31.

IMPORTANTE: El instalador nunca deberá cruzar las

guías de los alambres rojo y negro del interruptor Load

Manager™. Hacerlo puede invalidar la garantía y podría

ocasionar un daño significativo a los componentes del Load

Manager™ y al generador.

Asegúrese de que:

• El alambre ROJO del interruptor del Load Manager™

siempre esté conectado al breaker del circuito.

• El alambre NEGRO del interruptor Load Manager™

siempre esté conectado a carga.

¡PELIGRO! Deberá conectar los alambres del

interruptor del Load Manager™ tal y como se

describe aquí o corre el riesgo de provocar severos

daños al equipo o a usted mismo.
