Power Connections

GE Zenith transfer switches are supplied with UL listed

solderless screw type terminals as standard for the

Normal, Emergency and Load power connections.

Table 1 lists the number and sizes of cable lugs supplied

as standard for each switch amp rating.

DANGER

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE

(Can Cause Severe Injury or Death)

Turn OFF all power before installation, adjustment, or removal of transfer switch or any of its components.

Connect the Normal, Emergency, and Load conductors

to the clearly marked terminals on the transfer switch.

Remove surface oxides from cables by cleaning with a

wire brush. Verify that all connections are correct before

tightening the lugs. All cable lug connections must be

tightened to the proper torque values as shown in Table 2.

NOTE

:

Do not run cables or wiring behind
front-connected transfer switches.
