3.6 — Installing Branch Circuit
Conductors – USA Installations
Select which branch circuits will be protected by
1.
the generator in the normal power panel board.
Turn the circuit breaker in the normal power panel
2.
board to the off position.
Remove the ungrounded (hot) conductor from the
3.
circuit breaker and neutral conductor from the neu-
tral terminal bar in the normal power panel board.
NOTE: Multi-wire branch circuits must be connected to
circuit breakers that are adjacent to each other. If the cir-
cuit to be protected is part of a multi-wire branch circuit,
the entire multi-wire branch circuit must be relocated to
the transfer switch panel board (See NEC 210.4). The
branch circuit wiring can be removed from the normal
power panel board and installed in the transfer switch
panel board, or spliced onto new branch circuit wiring
originating from the transfer switch panel board.
If the normal power panel board is being used as a
4.
junction box for the protected branch circuit con-
ductors, install the 2 foot conduit, raceway(s), or
other approved wiring method between the transfer
switch panel board and normal power panel board.
Install properly sized branch circuit conductors
5.
between the transfer switch panel board to the
branch circuit conductors to be protected by the
transfer switch, if not using factory supplied wiring.
Use listed wire nuts or any other approved termina-
6.
tion device to connect the branch circuit conduc-
tors.
Install the provided label on the existing panel
7.
board that indicates the location of the disconnect-
ing means for the pass through conductors.
If the generator protected branch circuit conductors
8.
are being re-installed into the transfer switch panel
board, punch the required sized hole(s) for the
cable, conduit, or raceway.
Route the branch circuit conductors into the trans-
9.
fer switch and terminate the equipment ground
conductor on the equipment ground terminal bar,
the neutral on the neutral terminal bar, and the
ungrounded (hot) on the circuit breaker terminal.
Size all conductors, raceways, conduits, and junc-
10.
tion boxes, if required, to the applicable NEC code
articles and follow the NEC installation require-
ments for the wiring method(s) selected.
NOTE: The two foot pre-wire whip can be shortened if
needed or removed and replaced with field wiring. The
factory installed branch circuits and circuit breakers can
also be modified if needed. Follow all applicable electrical
codes for any field modification.

Installations
Select which branch circuits will be protected by

Turn the circuit breaker in the normal power panel
board to the off position.
Remove the ungrounded (hot) conductor from the
2.
circuit breaker and neutral conductor from the neu-
tral terminal bar in the normal power panel board.
NOTE: If the circuit to be protected is part of a multi-wire
branch circuit, the entire multi-wire branch circuit must be
relocated to the transfer switch panel board.
The Canadian Electric Code prohibits the use of
3.
the normal power panel board as a junction box,
the generator protected branch circuit wiring must
be relocated to a properly sized junction box, or
reinstalled into the transfer switch panel board.
Punch the required sized hole(s) for the cable, con-
4.
duit, or raceway into the transfer switch.
Route the branch circuit conductors into the trans-
5.
fer switch and terminate the equipment ground
conductor on the equipment ground terminal bar,
the neutral on the neutral terminal bar, and the
ungrounded (hot) on the circuit breaker terminal.
Size all conductors, raceways, conduits, and junc-
6.
tion boxes, if required, to the applicable CEC code
articles and follow the CEC installation require-
ments for the wiring method(s) selected.
NOTE: The two foot pre-wire whip can be shortened if
needed or removed and replaced with field wiring. The
factory installed branch circuits and circuit breakers can
also be modified if needed. Follow all applicable electrical
codes for any field modification.
