    MEP-003A hook up question

    At this time I would also like to point out that when you disconnect this bond leave the generator hooked up. running it disconnected from the house and the bond disconnected will give you weird voltages (floating neutral). Just something to keep in mind.

    MEP-003A hook up question

    No ground rod to the frame. While it can be done without adversely impacting the way the ground is meant to work its nest to not alter your house grounding. White wire to L0 Green/bare wire to chassis Line 1 to L1 line 2 to L3 The bond is usually wired off of L0 to the chassis.

    MEP-003A hook up question

    The whole point to bonding neutral to ground is to ensure they are at the same potential. Switched neutral transfer switching is very rare (the only place ive seen it done is data centers and cell towers). Both methods are acceptable, but dont cross them. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Because the neutral ground bond for the service is disconnected when the transfer switch is connected to generator. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    MEP-003A hook up question

    If all you need is an applied voltage to transfer, pretty easy. Other than that youd need a sense line to detect loss (and return) of utility Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    The point being, Unless you know exactly whats in at and whats been done it needs to be checked. Too many times have I come across an oddity because someone played Frankenstein.

    Picture is worth 1000 words, (on windows 10 thats 64 kb(sorry early morning nerd humor)) I wired up a 200 amp generac panel for my 004, but all my controls are custom.

    MOST transfer switches dont switch the neutral, BUT there are some out there that do so it is very important to find out and setup your system accordingly.

    If you are unsure how to hook to a home safely let me know. I can guide you in the right way of doing it. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
