How to connect a diesel generator to your house?

Connecting a diesel generator to your house requires careful planning and adherence to safety protocols. Before buying a generator, you need to assess your power requirements and then choose a diesel generator with a capacity that can meet the power needs. Typically, consider a 20-30% margin above your total power for future power requirements.

Select a transfer switch

A transfer switch can isolate your home from the grid to prevent backfeeding, which is hazardous and illegal. To connect the diesel-powered generator to your house, you can consider several options, such as manual transfer switch and automatic transfer switch. Choose the one that is best for your scenario. Ensure it matches the generator’s amperage.

Electrical connections

Install your diesel generator in a proper place and then install the transfer switch. Installing these requires professional knowledge and skills. You can hire a licensed electrician to install the transfer switch near the main panel. It will connect to designated circuits. Use heavy-duty, outdoor-rated cables to link the generator’s output to the transfer switch. Install a grounding rod as per local codes to ensure safety.

Safety and compliance

Obtain necessary permits and schedule inspections to meet local electrical codes. Run periodic tests under load to verify functionality. Never operate the generator indoors or in enclosed spaces.

Operation

Start the generator, let it stabilize, then engage the transfer switch to power selected circuits. After utility power returns, switch back to grid power and shut down the generator following manufacturer guidelines.

Fuel management

Use an approved diesel fuel tank, stored safely away from living areas. Ensure regular refills and consider a fuel stabilizer for long-term storage. Follow the manufacturer’s schedule for oil changes, filter replacements, and coolant checks.
