Features

Instead of having one interior like standard load centers, theMurray generator ready load center has two interiors. During normal operating utility conditions, both interiors are powered. During generator back up conditions, only thelower interior containing critical circuits is powered.

Since standby generators are hard wired into the home’s electrical system, and plumbed into the natural gas or propane supply, installing them after the home construction is complete can be costly and time consuming.

During construction, a Murray generator ready load center can be installed eliminating the need for future rewiring. Pre-planning on the builder’s part should also include running a gas line to the future generator site, and installing a junction box.

The generator ready load center has a total of 30 spaces / 42 circuits. All 30 spaces / 42 circuits are powered by utility power, and 18 spaces / 30 circuits are backed up by the generator.

The generator ready load center is compatible with Siemens, Generac, Guardian, and Centurion type standby generators up to 30 kW in size, and any brand of portable generatorup to 125A in output.

Traditional Installation

The majority of standby generator installations are performed after home construction is complete. Oftenmajor extended power outages in the area trigger generatorpurchases.

J Existing at time of generator installation: - A wired, whole house load center (A)J Required at time of generator installation: - Automatic transfer switch installed (B) - Back up circuits physically moved to a new back up load center (C) - Power leads (D) run to junction box (E) - Gas line run to the generator site (F) - Generator installed (G)

In such an application, often the load center and gas supplyare not conveniently positioned close to the generator location, requiring extensive electrical work (often behindwalls) and lengthy gas line runs. Installation charges canrange from $1,500 to $5,000 for most typical retroヮt installations. This cost does not include the generator ortransfer switch cost.

Generator Ready Load Center with Automatic Standby Generator Installation:

J Existing at time of generator installation: - Generator ready load center (A) - Power leads (B) run to junction box (C) - Gas lines run to generator site (D)J Required at time of generator installation: - Transfer mechanism installed into generator ready load center (E) - Generator installed (F)

The cost of a generator ready load center is on the same order of magnitude as a regular 40 circuit load center. The transfer mechanism installed inside the load center is signiヮcantly cheaper than an automatic transfer switch. The ヮnal installation uses fewer components making better use of real estate, and making for a much cleaner looking installation.

Portable Generator Installationa:

J Existing at time of portable generator installation: - Generator ready load center (A) - Hard Wiring (B) - Inlet Box (C)J Required at time of portable generator purchase: - Power Cord (D) - Mechanical Interlock (ECSBPK01) (E) - Portable Generator (F)

a The automatic transfer switch should not be used for portable generators.
