I have a generator that will be connected to a motor control center (MCC) on a movable trailer.
In case the generator goes down, my customer wants to unplug the generator and connect a secondary source of power.
My plan is as follows:
-Type TC cable coming out of the generator in a cord grip run in tray; FYI the generator is in its own enclosure
-On the cable end that will connect to the MCC, the cable will have a connector (female since it could have active power)
-The MCC will have an inlet (male) where the connector attaches since it cannot generate its own power.
-A large danger sign/phenolic will be placed at the MCC inlet warning of turning off the generator before disconnecting.
Eaton pin/sleeves I will be using

Can anyone suggest if I am violating any safety codes anywhere? I would like to get away without using a safety disconnect if I do not have to ($$$$); that's where I'm hoping the sign/phenolic are acceptable.
