do you run the main power leads from the power company through this box.? if not, how does it break the connection to the main power line when i am powering MY COMPLETE BREAKER PANEL with my 12 kw genorator.????

No, it is not really made for that. One breaker off the main panel feeds a sub panel which this is part of. So we power that one sub panel either from the street or the generator. The house was wired with that in mind; our sub panel was in the garage, which made it very easy to connect the generator. Hope that helps.

Yes, but make sure you get a schematic of your unit (try Google if you don't have it) to confirm the type of contactor. Some units operate with one pole contactors, some with double pole. It's important to keep the same type, because depending on your unit some things do not need to be non-energized at start-up time. Replace all leads where they go, and first and foremost: throw the breaker off. Good luck!

Hello: Yes, although, since it is wired in, it must be wired onto the main hot wires coming in from the power company. And also one wire goes to the neutral or ground terminal inside the box. An electrician would best to do this. Thanks for your interest Lightning Rod Stuff, LLC

no i wouldn't, if you don't know what your'e doing, you will not have any power for any period of time.it is too easy to use an ext. cord where you need it. if the power comes back on while you are rewiring your'e panel with the main still on ,bye,bye.

The breaker is doing what it is supposed to do. That is good. It is protecting your purchase .... and yourself from a meltdown. The breaker capacity needs to be compatible with your unit specifications ..... and your wiring needs to be compatible with both. The unit will do what it is supposed to if you follow those steps. Titan will assist you with these types of questions ..... Why not trust the source ..... They don´t bite ! Bill

Mine is direct wired into the panel box to it's own breaker and left on all the time. You need to have a qualified electrician do the install.

No. The Breakers in this unit are ONLY used during Generator Operation. When on Line the Breakers in this Unit are Bypassed. You can use each section of the Tandem breaker (each Tandem Breaker would use 2 breakers in this unit).If you have a Lot of Circuits and want to be able to use most/all of them, you could just put a Lockout on the Main input, with a Light bulb hardwired to the feed from power company, and Buy a Meter Box from Reliance to connect to your Generator Feed to monitor your Load, you could In Theory run your whole house, Probably not Simultaneously.I have some Tandem breakers in my panel too, but Each one uses two in this gen panel.

That is a good question that I and my brother would both like to know. Mine went out on the first power outage that we had. I too tried everything to reset it and had no luck. Sorry that I cannot help you. But if you do find out anything would you please pass it on. Thanks Wayne

Separate. The power unit connects to any circuit breaker within the power main box, and the protector for the cable is a separate pass through cable device.PJ<<

Sorry its not designed to do that. If your amp is tripping your breaker a lot then it should be on a breaker its self. I would first check to see what service your breaker box is on....60amp, 100amp or 200amp. Most power company prefer 200amp service and in most cases will upgrade your feed line at no charge, as long as you or a certified electrician installs a 200 amp breaker box and service to the outside. But make sure its to code or they will not do it. also see what all that breaker shuts off. It may not be your amp at all it maybe a combination of items that is drawing to much amperage. Also try replacing the outlet your using with a serge outlet so it trips the outlet first and not the breaker. Sorry its not designed to do that.

In general, you should not connect to a breaker panel. This inverter has part of the sine wave present on the neutral/return wire, and part on the "hot" wire, that add up to the 120V sine wave. If you connect to your breaker in your home, the inverter will try to drive the ground in your home to the voltage potential it is trying to create. This is because your home has neutral and ground bonded together at the main circuit breaker. If you want to tie an inverter into your home, you should buy one that is specifically listed/rated to do so.

As a master electrician i had to fish a circuit to my panel, install a disconnect by the outside unit. So wire, a breaker, disconnect + knowledge of codes ect. I installed and wired the unit and luckily have a part time neighbor who is a HVAC contractor. He came on a Saturday and did the lines and vacuumed the system, checked it out and got it going. We had one glitch one line was shipped the wrong size [ too big ] So we had to make a trip to the local store for the right line which had to be flared and made to fit. Luckily i had some one with a lot of experience in HVAC.

There is a separate wire for each breaker that hooks to the corresponding breaker in the main circuit box. Reliance has a video on there site showing how to connect it step by step.

The answer from Thomas D. is right on and the only comment I would add, is make sure you have you on off switch in between you 12 volt supple hook up.

As L Hou said, the power supply provides power to the tester, specifically through the large ATX board connector. You don't have to plug in the other connectors if you don't want to test them but the instructions specifically state that if the tester doesn't light up your main board power is bad.

I have mine coming through a cement wall on my office building feed from the rear into my electrical box. No problem. There may be some editing or knock-out panels, but your electrician should be able to handle that easily (or yourself if you are handy). The box is really simple... Glorified junction box / breaker box with a circuit board. You'll enjoy it..!

I'm not an electrician, but in your situation, all the power is coming from the main service panel. You should consult with an electrician to calculate your maximum load. I've had no issues with my Eco 24 running 3-40 amp breakers off a 200 amp service panel. If you have a heat pump you could be pushing the limit at certain times. Be safe, consult an electrician.
