    • LI – Adjustable long time, instantaneous trip settings
    • LSI – Adjustable long & short time, instantaneous trip settings
    • LSIG – Adjustable long & short time, instantaneous trip settings, with ground fault trip settings

Temporary Generator/Load Bank Quick Connection

  • Per NEC 700.3, temporary generator connection applications require either mechanical or electrical interlocking of the power sources
    • This safely prevents inadvertently paralleling normal & emergency power sources
  • Multiple generators or feeders circuit breaker sections (multiple mechanical key interlocks, transfer block)
  • Operation sequence without sources interlocking is available for systems that achieve NEC 700.3 source interlocking externally
  • Loadbank connection only applications
    • Easily connects a temporary loadbank to a facility’s permanent generator(s)
    • Utilizes female cam-lok type receptacles
    • Circuit breaker and monitoring options available
  • Integrated Generator & Loadbank Quick Connection
    • Combines male & female cam-loks into one unit for all your temporary connection needs in one location
    • Dual-purpose termination cabinet allows for safe and clean connection of a portable temporary generator or loadbank
  • Cam-lok gender changeover adapters are an alternative to converting Generator Quick Connection into Loadbank Quick Connection
    • Subject to implemented options
