My 2x GEM, 2x 1240 and Dashbox install
Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2017 3:53 pm
So the big box from Canada showed up today with the following goodies:
The 2 GEMs will go on the wall by the 2 main sub-panels, one 1240 will go by the sub-panel in the server room, and the 2nd 1240 will go in the shop building sub-panel which also terminates my solar arrays.
The GEMs and Dashbox mounted in order to take some quick measurements for the needed conduit into the panels and for routing transformers, etc.
1st 1240 trail mounted below the server room sub-panel:
Yes, I got work to do here still with the existing installation.
And finally, the shop sub-panel.
I call all these sub-panel, because there are. My main service entrance and the only place where neutral and ground are tied together, is in my 400A fused disconnect show here:
This is where I'll be installing the 200A split CT to monitor all consumption to all 4 sub-panels.
Here's what my overall service entrance looks like. The disconnect is flanked by the 400A service entrance on once side, and by a 400A automatic transfer switch on the other side for the diesel backup generator:
Can't wait to get everything online! Unfortunately my scheduled is pretty booked the rest of the week, but hopefully I'll be able to make some time to tinker with this.
