INSTALLATION

4 2.6.5 ISOLATING DIFFERENT POWER

__________ SOURCES______________________ ________

Connections from the junction box must terminate
in

a

double-pole,

double-throw

transfer

switch

(Figure 2.17). An alternate method for isolating dif­

ferent power sources is by using an isolating recep­
tacle (Figure 2.18). Whichever method you use, you
must be certain that both power sources are NOT
connected at the same time.

♦ 2.6.6 POWER SUPPLY CORD

The power supply cord must comply with all applic­

able codes, standards and regulations. It must be
large enough to handle the full amperage to which
it will be subjected.

♦ 2.6.7 GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS

The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70. 551-7)

requires that you install ground fault circuit inter­
rupters (GFCIs) on all external and some internal
electrical

receptacles.
