I am trying to add this to my layout but do not know how to connect it to power feed.
If you are trying to connect a standby genset to house power, there are 2 ways to go about it
one is to have a 3 way switch in the house meter box and a caravan plug attached to the switch. This means that you have to physically switch off the mains power ,through centre point to get set power . using a lead to the caravan plug from the genset will then give you power to the house. You cannot have it so that the mains power and genset power are on at the same time
The second way is to have the genset connected through a mains operated relay where by when the mains power is off ( blackout) the relay closes for the genset and power is on to the house ( best with electric start gensets) When the mains power comes back on the relay changes over and shuts the genset off
Regardless of which way you want to go, discuss the options with an accredited electrician for best advice as it is not a job foe DIY's.
