[RE-wrenches] Best practices for genset on premises

We do a lot of installation in Agricultural settings and a design pattern I keep running into is a large genset on premises, the transfer switch is the first peice of service equipment and the customer wants to interconnect in a remote sub panel because they don't want to run another set of lines.

Re: [RE-wrenches] 200 Amp Main Equip for 60A Solar

Jeff, Why are you looking to do a supply side connection? If you're going with new equipment you could go with a 225 A main panel with a 200 A main breaker and do a load side connection. Best, August *From:* re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wr

Re: [RE-wrenches] 200 Amp Main Equip for 60A Solar

Hi Jeff W.Great!  Thanks - just what the doctor ordered.Question though - do the pass thru lugs allow then even more than 70 Amps backfeed?  In essence like a supply tap?  In the Eaton catalogs it still shows "200 Amp rated" on that unit.  I haven't been able to find a schematic that shows the

Re: [RE-wrenches] outback fx service work

Another tip for working on the Outback: Use 9V (smoke alarm size) batteries ganged together to create test voltage for the inverter. They can be joined "head to tail" to get enough voltage to turn the thing on and have it self test, but if you screwed something up the amperage isn't enough to s
