As a uk Electrician & seeing all the spiral twists in those wires when you put them in trunking its always advisable to pull the cable off the roll in the same way its been wrapped on & you’ll never get twists. I usually put the roll down in 1 corner of the room (round side down) & yank the end of the cable while walking to the other corner of the room & a smooth line of cable comes off the roll. Or even better with many cable rolls make a wooden stand to pull cable off. You’ll enjoy putting cables in the trunking next time. Try it once & you’ll remember this comment. Great video overall, liked.
Hi thank you I really like your video,I'm also loving doing electrical work n I'm working as and TA for also 2 years now.. I'm also going to connect a some thing as you showed on the video and really need some more headvice from you,if you would love to help me out...?!
What could be the possible causes of the genset failing to autostart(not even cranking the engine).I recently installed a similar genset with exact ATS but can't start automatically, the failure indicator continues to blink.
Thank you Sir for your video, it`s very explanatory ! Yet, I have one question please , You connected the city main wires ( Black once ) to the ATS via a switch But the power coming from the ATS to which Switch did you connect it ? Do we need another switch ?
Main power from the meter goes in to the ATS, and then from ATS back to main fuse board, now you can put between isolator switch just to be on the safe side!
you prolly dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend lately xD
Thanks for this video. I love it. Can you please provide us with who the manufacturer is and the model # of the transfer box. Where to buy is also appreciate. Thanks
Hi! Thanks for the coment, the only thing i know is that equipment is Powermate PMD 5000s, and it did came as a package, gen. Plus ATS, and customer bought it in Spain, sorry but thats all i know...
I got similar setup, however my ATS which is although look similar, supports 3 phase generator as well and therefore has 4 terminals on the grid/generator/out connections. Any idea which terminals should be used for 1-phase generator. Also, how did you grounded the generator and ats box?
Very good your explanation, but what is very important for US to know is wiring diagram for Ats and AMF... please send me the wiring diagram for Ats and AMF
I have a hyundai inverter generator mod.65158, and ATS hyundai mod.65140. I installed the cables from the meter, to the ATS control unit things net input, I installed it to the 16 ampere socket of the generator, in the generator input, I left it empty, ats output , when I turn off the power the generator starts, when the power comes back it can't stop, what could it be, thanks
thank you for the video .but have one question ? the ATS has house net and generator may i know how did u connect it ?or if can contact u personality ? thank you
Nice video sir. I have a quick question 1. If I have a 12KVA generator, how may amps do I need for the ATS? 2. If my utility box has a 250amp load. How many amps of ATS do I need? 3. Lastly, If the power goes out I will use about 7kva. So 12Kva is enough but do I still need a 250amp ATS since my Utility box is 250amp?
Hi, thanks, if it is 3 phase gen, you need at least 25A per phase for ATS, that 250A looks a bit too much, specialy if it is for domestic use, so you need to size your ATS acording to your ussage... so if your place doesnt use more than 12KVA at any point, then you are ok with 4 times 25A...
@@AxiomBalkan Thanks for the swift reply. It would be for a single phase since it's a house only. So would you think a 100amp ATS is sufficient even though I have a 250amp breaker from the main utility line? thanks and keep safe
When the generator works doesnt the volts you are generating go back the the city net? Did you installed somekind of relais to break the cirquit back to the city?
That is what ATS do, automatic transfer switch. There is two contactors inside wich when one is on another one is off so there is no chance for power to go back to main network...
@@AxiomBalkan I have one but it's not staying at 60 hertz. It runs at 58 and only can bring it up by hand on the governor. The one I have will not go up from 58 to 60 unless I manually move the governor.
@@danieljohnson7909 try to measure frequency with some good instrument, dont rely on one on the generator, maybe is off... and if you are at 59 or 61 you should be ok...
This generator in the video comes with ATS and cable to connect them together, you see that white cable it has 5 pin contact on both ends and that how i connected them, so they can comunicate when to start and when to stop generator... every brand is diferent, so talk to your supplier about how to connect them together...
what if we have the government power running but we want to use our stand by generator for 3days only then later use the normal power supply from government? will have to turn off the transfer switch manually?
@@AxiomBalkan great... I want to use it as a manual transfer switch unfortunately without the signal cable the contactors are not energizing or actuating....
@@mwaledex you have to install taster switches on and off, and connect them to the electromagnet of the contractor like that you will have manual control over transfer…

Thanks! Glad that it helped little bit!
Well done 👍 good job sir your all practical work very well explained step by step
the switch in video is a Millers Falls ATS switch

How can I paste the picture sir
What's your email account sir, thanks

How do u connected the signal ats cable
I'm thinking the garage is probably NOT the best place for the generator ☠️💀
What about the exhaust that looks like enclosed area
Yes it is, but exaust is routed outside with ridgid copper pipe, 50mm (2")
DOES THE ATS START A NON AUTOMATIC.
There is two modes, auto and manual
Can the ats work in manual mode without a signal cable???
Yes it can, but then it’s not a ATS ( automatic transfer switch) 😉

Way undersized for anything other than a few circuits. No HVAC systems, maybe a window unit. No large appliances, electric range is out.
