GENERATOR TRANSFER PANEL WITH A TERMINAL ARRANGEMENT FOR ESTABLISHING A DIRECT CONNECTION TO A REMOTE POWER INLET

摘要

A power transfer switching mechanism for interposition between a remote pow er inlet box and the electrical load center of a building includes a terminal compartment for receiving power input wires connected to the remote power inlet box. The switching mechanism includes a cabinet defining an internal cavity within which a seri es of switches are mounted. The cabinet further defines a terminal compartment, and a terminal assembly is disposed within the terminal compartment. The terminal compartment is accessible through an opening associated with the cabinet, and a cover is selectively positionable over the opening to provide or prevent access to the terminal compartment. A series of wires are interconnected between the terminal assembly and the switches, and power input wiring is received within the terminal compartment and interconnected with the remote power inlet box. The ends of the power input wires are engageable with the terminal assembly for establishing a direct electrical connection between the remote power inlet box and the switches of the switching mechanism.
