Typical Load Bank Hook-Up Disconnect output load leads from generator circuit breaker and terminate load bank leads on circuit breaker Leaves customer exposed during an outage Cable terminations exposed during operation Genset needs to be taken out of commission for connection Terminate load bank cables to the input side of generator circuit breaker Load bank, generator set, & cables are not protected from a fault Genset needs to be taken out of commission for terminations Terminate load bank cables to the generator bussing at the alternator Load bank, generator set, & cables are not protected for a fault
Typical Roll Up Genset Connection Remove generator leads from on site ATS and tie in temp gen leads Emergency power system must be taken out of commission to connect Qualified electrician recommended to complete terminations Long down time to hook up unit Site specific places to hook-up – Off switchboard, at genset breaker, at utility service entrance, etc. Power sources must be isolated and taken out of commission

Case Study, C-Store Dallas TX C-Store has 100 locations Stand-by Generators owned: 15 Contingency contracted for: 30 Total: 45 An ice storm knocks out utility power at 80 locations. It takes 2 days to energize 45 locations. 35 are left without power. No generators are available. Within 2 days power is restored to ½ of the stores (22). C-Store cannot find an electrician to disconnect the stand by units. They are busy turning people on, not off. C-Stores remain out of power, losing an average of $100,000/day in sales revenue. Solution: Trystar Docking station that the generator rental company can connect/disconnect and relocate the stand-by units.
