Order Entry Information
Quick connects can be supplied with either Sentron or VL molded case circuit breakers and also, WL insulated case circuit breakers as the generator disconnect. This generator
disconnect must be provided with mechanical interlocking with the normal main disconnect. Quick connects and the main disconnect can be supplied in a single section up to 2000 amperes. Choose “main service” as the section type in COMPAS to ensure only one device is configured per section (see figure 1). If above 2000 amperes, a pull section is required and must be selected in COMPAS (see figure 2). See table 1 for a summary of all of the configuration information and table 2 for all of the pricing information. The prices in table 2 must be added as a factory option as shown in figures 3 and 4. The quick connects are priced at $1690 per quick connect assuming each quick connect is 4/0 and carries 400 amperes. The list price adders in table 2 are for all of the quick connects that would be required in the switchboard for each amperage and system phasing.
