Install generators

Make the materials adjustments to tour preference. Drill a hole to serve as access that allows wires from your generator to go directly into the house. It should be large to perfectly fit the wires. If the wall is so thick, use a hammer drill. Assemble the other materials. First, mount your power inlet box onto the exterior wall and should be some feet from the drilled hole. Ensure it is watertight. The wiring of the generator inlet plug is next. Pull one wire after the other from the conduit body then push the wires that should go inside.

The breaker box should then be prepared to receive the wires. Properly install the wires and the breaker retainer then cover it. Turn off the main power switch on the circuit breaker and keep it in the same position while you use the generator.

The generator is to be placed at least 5 feet and most 10 feet far from the house to avoid your house from being polluted by carbon monoxide from the exhaust. The extension cord is to be plugged into the outlet that is on the panel of your generator.

The other end, plug it into the dryer outlet. Turn all the switches of the circuit breakers that are in the transfer switch to OFF position for safety purposes. Flip the main breakers that are in the transfer switch to remain at the generator position for functionality.

Turn the circuits you need to power for use to the ON position one at a time because this is important to prevent the generator from overloading. You can now enjoy working in a powered house. Switch off the main power supply that leads to the house and uses a voltmeter for testing electricity termination into the breaker box.

Do an installation of the breaker into your service panel. Set your breaker in its housing in the panel where you will want it to stay. Rock back and forth the circuit by inserting a tabbed end of your breaker in the housing then snap the rest of your breaker over on the hot bus bar.

Thread your ground wire via the ground bar then run the wire to end of the volt receptacle that is in the breaker box and screw the wire.

Attach the black wires to the uncolored screws and attach your ground wire to the screw colored green. Install the feedback circuit breakers r the service cable. In some cases, there may be preliminary preparations you can take care of to reduce the cost. A dealer will likely be your installation technician, so a home consultation can estimate the total cost.
