Can I pull a 'class-2' brown T-stat cable in the same conduit with a generator feeder?
I only hooked up one of those and it was somewhat recently, I remember having that same issue.Might try that on my next Kohler. Still might not fit. Boggles my mind why Kohler put the inlet covered by the lid when its open.
Feeding the wires in is a disaster as well, because you need the lid open to access the inside and closed to feed from the outside. Simultaneously
Did I mention that Kohler pisses me off?
The start up sheet I have to sign and turn in to Kohler asks if it is separate.
The only control on the Kohler I hooked up more recently was a single pair shielded cable between transfer switch and the generator controller. There was a 15 amp 120 volt circuit run with the generator output conductors for battery charger and any other accessories that may be included with the breaker for this as a field add on feature within the transfer switch.
The last two I done had the option of the shielded cable, or the two wire start. Since I was not doing load shedding, I chose the two wire start.
I might not paid enough attention and had that option as well. Not too big of deal though, Transfer switch was right next to the generator on that one.
The two I recently installed had both options, I didn’t look to see which model it was. I believe if you used the load shedding option, you had to use the com link.
Yeah I see it done with generators and also HVAC.
You first have to reclassify the class 2 control circuit as class 1 control circuit and install following all the rules for a class 1 circuit which means you can not use CL2 cable, or directly use the CL2 thermostat or other CL2 components as the entire control circuit becomes a class 1 circuit and not just random portions you wish to be class 1.
