Product Information
Generator Quick Connect Switchboards
Siemens Energy Management Low Voltage and Products presents generator quick
connect switchboards. These switchboards offer cam-type receptacles in
addition to standard mechanical lugs, which allow for quick connection of a
standby generator to a facility’s normal main service entrance switchboard.
The quick connects can be supplied with either Sentron or VL molded case
circuit breakers and also with WL insulated case circuit breakers as the
generator disconnect. These switchboards are not selections in COMPAS, so the
order entry guide is designed to help with submitting orders for this new
product offering.

This generator disconnect must be provided with mechanical interlocking with the normal main disconnect.Quick connects and the main disconnect can be supplied in a single section up to 2000 amperes. Choose “main service” as the section type in COMPAS to ensure only one device is configured per section (see figure 1). If above 2000 amperes, a pull section is required and must be selected in COMPAS (see figure 2).See table 1 for a summary of all of the configuration information and table 2 for all of the pricing information. The prices in table 2 must be added as a factory option as shown in figures 3 and 4. The quick connects are priced at $1690 per quick connect assuming each quick connect is 4/0 and carries 400 amperes. The list price adders in table 2 are for all of the quick connects that would be required in the switchboard for each amperage and system phasing.

Product Usage Instructions
To use the generator quick connect switchboards, follow the steps below:
- Choose the amperage rating of the switchboard.
- If the amperage is above 2000 amperes, a pull section is required and must be selected in COMPAS.
- Choose the main device from the configuration information table.
- Determine the number of quick connects per phase based on the amperage rating and information provided in the Ampere Rating and Quick Connects per Phase table.
- If quick connects are needed, add them as a factory option as shown in figures 3 and 4.
- Ensure that the generator disconnect is provided with mechanical interlocking with the normal main disconnect.
- Choose main service as the section type in COMPAS to ensure only one device is configured per section.
