Hello gentlemen, below is an image of the conduit connections into my personal home standby generator. I had the dealer do the installation to make sure my warranty was protected. The sub he hired dug a trench and went underground. My question is if the way they connected to the generator housing is proper? The generator is on vibration isolation inside the housing and the housing is bolted solid to the pad. However the pad is a "drop in" pad so it will likely settle over time. I do not see any allowances for ground movement.
I should note the contractor did NOT pull a permit, so it was not inspected. They did use the can on the meter main as a (short) pull through for control wire, so they could share the same conduit with a 20 amp 120 volt station service circuit from a breaker in the meter main. I have had to make some control wiring repairs as some was incomplete, and RS485 wiring was done incorrectly.
What are your thoughts?
