utilities haven't come out with an "Additional temporary input / utility
bypass" meter pan?
-Power fails -Bring portable generator to meter location. -Open side access
door of meter pan (Which physically disconnects meter from utility source)
-Inside side access is a recessed 20 or 30 or 40 (to match generator's rating)
ampere male plug. -Attach female end of extention cord to meter bypass outlet
-Attach male end of cord to generator.
Optional:
A solenoid operated ejector which, upon restoration of utility's power, would
"punch" the cord out of the side input socket and the door would spring shut.
Another option: a fireman switch on the door cover which would shut down the
genset if the door isn't open.
