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. |
The
best way to order is to determine the manufacturer of the
panel by looking inside the panel door. Note the location
and size (100 amp, 150 amp, or 200 amp) of the main breaker
and it’s location compared to the branch circuit breakers
Pay particular attention to the dimensions between the main
breaker and branch circuit breakers
(See the example to the right).
Also note if the main breaker switches turns on and off
by moving up and down or left and right. |
|
With
the above information, go to the website and use the ‘Interlock
Kit Selection when the list of manufactures pops up, use
the appropriate button to select the manufacture of your
panel. Multiple pictures of panels by that manufacture
will be displayed giving the critical dimensions for each
panel. Using the pictures and the dimensions from your
panel, select the kit you need. Note that many manufactures
made panels that were marketed under other names (ITE
and Siemens as an example) so you may find the same panel
listed under two brands. Some areas of the country utilize
panels known as ‘Combo Meter Mains’ which
houses the utility meter and some breakers in one box
or panel located outside. We offer many kits for these
applications and each are noted accordingly. |

have questions or believe that you have a panel that
is not shown in our selection please email us at: questions@interlockkit.com
