Thread starter gogojuice Start date Aug 12, I finally purchased my PTO generator and am stuck trying to figure out how to hook it up. After googling.. I see a lot of posts on methods.. Does anyone recommend a certain method? Sounds like you have decided on the correct choice. Your local utility is where you need to start.
Our local utility had a data sheet for generator hook-up that was free. Central metered with triplex or underground out to each building? Generator size and loads operated while on generator power? Ronk makes a replacement meter base that has a built in break before make transfer switch. Reliance also makes a good product to place downstream of the utility meter - Reliance Controls Corporation. I would go the replacement meter base route. Basicly "they" pull your hydro meter, install a qizmo in its place, then re-install your meter.
When the power goes out, you fire up your tractor, connect the generator, drive up to your hydro meter, connect a heavy power cable from generator to the "gizmo" they installed.
I would call around to your local Electricians. IF the "gizmo" you are referring to is called a generlink is can only do 10KW. I called the company. Is this the device? BleedingOrange Platinum Member. What capacity does your PTO Generator have? Is it more than 10K? Its 16 KW. My little BX can't make that.. I'm not going to limit the amount I can use. Joined Mar 29, Messages Yeap that is what I was thinking. I understand your 10KW hook up vs 16 Kw generator dilemma. But dare I ask what you plan on running during a power outage that needs that much juice?
