How
do I choose the correct kit? |
| While using
the InterLock kit is easy, care must be taken to order
the correct kit for your panel board. There are two ways to do
this; check the brand name and model number of your panel and
then match (we have pictures of every model to help make sure
you have the right one) that information in our chart to the correct
InterLock kit or take pictures of your panel and e-mail
them to us along with the information from your panel and let
us choose the right kit for you. Go to your panel and write down
the brand name and number of your panel as well as the size of
the utility (main) breaker and the direction of the throw of the
utility breaker (vertical or horizontal). This information is
usually on the inside of the panel door on a label or template.
If you cannot find the information label then look for the name
of your manufacturer on the front of the panel cover or on the
door of the panel cover. If you cannot find all the information
that you need to make the correct selection you can e-mail
us the information you do have (we will need at least the manufacturer
and the size of the utility (main) throw breaker) and a picture
of your panel. Due to the number of different panels out there
you may not be able to find your specific model. Contact us with
your panel dimensions and information and we can custom build
one to fit your panel if we can’t find one from another InterLock
kit that will fit it. Below is a list of panels set-up by manufacturer.

have 2 panels this does not mean that you need a significantly
larger generator. This is generally done only so that you will
have the breaker spaces available to feed a larger home. You will
however need 2 InterLock kits. The installer can then parallel
the feed from the generator to both panels through the InterLock
kit. We offer a 25% discount on the second identical kit when
ordered at the same time. |
