Supporting up to 800 Amps, Roam's MTC® 6003 ES8KvB series ("v" = Voltage Code) of Generator Interface Panels (Generator Connection Boxes) provide a rugged and cost-effective, exterior connection point for high-capacity emergency power. Roam's 800A Generator Panels use E1016 (J-Series/16 Series) Male Cam-Lok* brand connectors in two rows of 400A (max) connectors bus-barred together, allowing the panel to support up to 800A.
The standard in safety and outdoor reliability, Roam's line of Generator Interface Panels makes connecting a portable generator to your site fast, easy, and most importantly—safe. The MTC 6003 ES8KvB line is part of Roam's UL Listed (US & Canada) series of three-phase Generator Interface Panels. Generator Interface Panels like those made by Roam are also known in various industries under other names such as Generator Connector Panels, Tap Boxes, Inlet Boxes, Docking Stations, Generator Plugs, Gen Boxes, and Generator Quick Connects. Roam uses genuine Cooper Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok* brand connectors. Similar compatible connectors are sometimes referred to as "Cam-Lock" connectors by their manufacturers, distributors, and/or users.
Roam's MTC 6003 ES8KvB 800 Amp Generator Interface Boxes accept either #2 to 2/0 or 2/0 to 4/0 cables via Cam-Lock plugs on the generator cable side, and from #2 AWG to 600MCM cables on the internal wireway side. The wireway connection supports up to dual 600MCM cables (via bolted on lugs) on internal bus bars.
Roam offers MTC 6003 ES8KvB Generator Panel in models that support up to 240 VAC (120v, 208v, 230v, 240v), up to 480 VAC (277v, 330v, 440v, 480v), and up to 600 VAC (575v, 577v, 600v), which are UL Listed and cUL Listed (Canada) at those voltage levels. Brown-Orange color coding (for labels, Cam-Locks, & Cam-Lock spring caps) is normally used for most 480 VAC applications.
For all 800A Generator Interface Panels, it is vital that the panel be fed only from a single generator or power source or from multiple generators or power sources that are synchronized. Do not connect multiple power sources or generators to this panel unless all power inputs have been synchronized. Failure to properly synchronize (phase match and voltage match) inputs from multiple power sources or generators can cause short circuits, severe equipment damage, and potential injury to operators. Additionally, all power input cables should be of same cable type, conductor material, gauge, and length.
Any Roam panels with power connectors normally color coded (for Cam-Locks, Spring Caps, and Labels) as L1=Black, L2=Red, & L3=Blue, are also available in the typical Canadian color coding format of L1=Red, L2=Black, & L3=Blue. If you need to order a unit with the Canadian color scheme, just add a "-CAN" to the end of the Model Number. If the generator you are connecting to uses the US color coding (L1=Black, L2=Red, L3=Blue), then you may want the standard US color system (so long as local electrical codes allow).
Roam's 800A Generator Interface Panels (Boxes) can also be ordered with no neutral connection for sites and generator configurations designed for just Ground, L1, L2, and L3 cables. The "No Neutral" versions of these panels are also UL Listed and cUL Listed (Canada). To order a panel without a neutral connector just add a "-NN" to the end of the Model Number. The "No Neutral" panels used only eight sets of four bus-barred Cam-Lock connectors rather than ten.
