Your generator must have a combination 120/240 volt output, which duplicates that provided by
the electric utility. The two 240 volt hot legs of this output must be connected to the two
Generator circuit breaker terminals. The neutral of this output must be connected to the transfer
panel neutral bar, thus providing the required combination 120/240 volt input. To facilitate
connection to the transfer panel, a remotely located Power Inlet Box such as the Reliance Cat.
