Square D by Schneider Electric HOMCGK2C Homeline Cover Generator and QOM2 Frame Size Main Breaker Interlock Kit

A chance on this turned out to be a good one. In the RC816F enclosures Series #RCGK2 of Square D there is a kit sold specifically for this enclosures. Consider this if you think the price of the interlock kit is too high, check the part # for it it's more than $200, and you are basically purchasing a cover plate for your enclosure with the interlock holes already drilled and the bracket for the interlock attached. I would not waste my money on the more expensive part unless you cannot use a drill and screwdriver, follow the directions, and are an electrical expert. After all, I do have electrical experience, so I doubt anyone else could possibly Several high voltage wires are visible without the hideaway cover when you remove the enclosure from the wall. I would highly recommend you turn off the main breaker before removing the enclosure cover and installing any parts of this kit, whether you are experienced or not.

There are many advantages to using a transfer switch, including simplicity of operation and overall cost savings. There were a few things that I didn't like instructions were a bit confusing and pictures were A few notes In this case, the housing works with the HOMEC30UC panel (the main breakers are located On the circuit board of your panel is a very small sticker with a panel board number. You can look at it if you are interested. *Under the main breaker of this panel, there is a 200-amp breaker There should be an amp breaker on the bottom instead of the top as described in the instructions. When using this lockout device on this layout, you will need to use the circuit breaker on the lower left. Moreover, the dryer breaker had to be moved to the top right of the panel from the lower left corner -- This is no problem at all.

The program performs the task at hand. Our farm is located west of Savannah in a rural area. Due to the last two hurricanes, we now realize the importance of securing our The price is right for what I needed without spending hundreds. Keep your eyes open. You should not attempt this modification if you are a normal DIYer. When you backfeed to the grid during an outage, you must have a thorough understanding of how the electrical system works to avoid risking yourself or a lineman. The pictures you see on this page show my sense energy monitor.

It is impossible, therefore, for you to accidentally energize the grid from your generator because of this device. There was only one thing I could criticize the pictures in the instructions could have been In addition to that, if you have a compatible panel and wish to wire a whole-room system with it, I highly recommend that product We are using a backfeed method to provide backup power to the house.

The interlock kit to connect your portable generator to your home will surely be the most popular method of connecting your portable generator to your home when you search on youtube for whole house generator power. This is a safe, compliant, affordable, and simple to install, understand, and use device. If you are considering installing this kit yourself, check that you are comfortable working near your LIVE utility feed first. In order to purchase this product and begin the work on my panel, I scoured YouTube for more than 100 videos of this topic. For this installation you will almost certainly need a permit depending on where you live. If you do not feel comfortable doing it, it is better to hire an electrician as the amount of electricity in your home panel would be In terms of the product itself, at $45 for a few small sheet metal pieces, it does seem expensive. There were several no-name interlock kits purchased on Amazon for *$20 but they were all ravaged by low reviews about poor quality and missing parts. As this product is OEM manufactured by Square D in exactly the same way as my panel, the price was fine for me. When I was in the middle of the project, I didn't want to deal with a knock off that had bits and pieces missing.

There is no explicit mention of this kit working with bottom fed panels anywhere in the manual. In the beginning, I was not sure. But then I saw the picture. I got it.

You won't be able to finish it unless you are a certified electrician, or you could end up fatally damaged! Electrical service panel feeds (HIGH VOLTAGE) have to be rewired if it does not look like the image shown above. I had a big BLACK switch representing the 100Amp SERVICE FEED (HIGH VOLTAGE) at the bottom of my image. This plug goes outside the utility room to power up the generator. It was necessary to move the SERVICE FEED to the right and below. I found that it worked like a charm after it was installed properly. This is at least how it has been.

A DuroMax XP10000EH generator and Conntek 1450SS2-based motor are included in the installation This is 15 15-15 The PB50 50-AMP from Reliance and the Foot 50-AMP from Foot The NEMA 50 amp inlet is connected to a Homeline 50 amp circuit breaker. I was able to get it to work without any problems. Only caveat is even though Square D and Homeline are alike, if you order the equivalent to a Homeline breaker on Square D like the QOM2, you can only use it by removing the bottom part (thinner part) of the breaker warning bracket (picture). Although it is an interlock warning bracket, rather than holding the breaker in place itself, it will function the way it was intended.
