Options for Generator Connection Cabinets

Quick Links:1-Micro Switch | 2-Key Interlock Provision | 3-Phase Sequence & Failure Indication | 4-Security Cabinet | 5-Convenience Outlet Provision | 6-Cam-Lok Snap Covers | 8-Welded Construction | 9-Powder Coat Finish | 10-Stainless Steel | 13-Terminal Strip

1-Micro Switch

Switch with (1) form C contact wired to a terminal block, actuated by the temporary cable access panel. When connected to the shunt trip on the permanent engine breaker or the utility service main breaker, it serves to prevent asynchronous connection of the two sources. Shunt tripping the preferred source also prevents the Generator Connection Cabinet from being back-fed, thus ensuring the cabinet is de-energized when personnel are making connections.

6-Cam-Lok Snap Covers

Cam-Lok generator connection points can be covered with a spring-closed molded plastic NEMA 3R cover for added safety. Especially useful for larger units where an undersized generator might be connected, resulting in some Cam-Loks remaining unused. Also recommended for load bank applications where the Generator Connection Cabinet is energized by the permanent connections.

8-Welded Construction

Cabinet is welded instead of fastened with carriage bolts (wall-mount ears and front cover are still bolted/screw fastened). Choose this option when specifications call for a welded enclosure.
