Parallel connection kit for power generators
A kit for connecting in parallel two electrical generators, including a wiring unit mounted on an attachment frame which is configured to be rigidly affixed to one of the two electrical generators. The wiring unit includes an external output receptacle, and a circuit breaker, plus hard-wired connections for receiving the power inputs from the two electrical generators being connected in parallel. The wiring unit is screwed or otherwise fastened to a preferably contoured bracket which, in turn, is screwed or otherwise fastened, preferably, to a frontal area of one of the two generators.
1. A kit for connecting the electrical outputs of at least two electrical generators in parallel, comprising:
a wiring unit, having at least two input electrical connections, operably configured to receive electrical leads connected to the outputs of a corresponding at least two electrical generators, and at least one output electrical receptacle, operably configured to receive an electrical lead to be connected to a load; and
an attachment frame, to which the wiring unit is operably affixed, and which, in turn, is operably configured to be rigidly affixed to one of the at least two electrical generators, through mechanical fasteners passing through the attachment frame and into housing regions of the one of the at least two electrical generators, so that when the attachment frame is attached to the one of the at least two electrical generators, the attachment frame is precluded from movement relative to one of the at least two electrical generators.
2. The kit for connecting the electrical outputs of at least two electrical generators, according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring unit further comprises a circuit breaker electrically connected to the at least two input electrical connections and at least one output electrical receptacle, for providing overload protection to the at least two electrical generators when connected by the kit.
3. A first electrical generator, in combination with a kit for connecting the electrical outputs of the first electrical generator in parallel with at least one other electrical generator, comprising:
the first electrical generator;
a wiring unit, having at least two input electrical connections, operably configured to receive electrical leads connected to the output of the first electrical generator and the at least one other electrical generator, and at least one output electrical receptacle, operably configured to receive an electrical lead to be connected to a load; and
an attachment frame, to which the wiring unit is operably affixed, and which, in turn, is rigidly affixed to the first electrical generator, through mechanical fasteners passing through the attachment frame and into housing regions of the first electrical generator, so that when the attachment frame is attached to the first electrical generator, the attachment frame is precluded from movement relative to the first electrical generator.
