A friend of mine just bought a 20kW generator which he plans to set up with permanent connections. His plan is to reroute the service to a new MTS. Second input to the MTS obviously will be the generator and the output will be the existing service panel.
Doesn't he need to have a new service disconnect ahead of the ATS?
Also, He's got SER cable feeding into his panel now, 2 phase and a grounded service conductor. If he adds a new service disconnecting means as I'm suggesting above, doesn't he need to run from there his 2 phase, 1 neutral and a ground. Only the service can be the 3 wire stuff correct?
On the generator side, again, he plans on using 3 conductor SER cable, I would think he'd need the separate neutral and ground.
Lastly, since the MTS is 23 pole only, I believe there should be no neutral to ground bond at the generator. Do you agree?
Very much appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Mike
