Generators & Compatibility
- Using the existing service disconnect in conjunction with a trapped key interlock.
- Double-throw manual transfer switch.
- Automatic manual transfer switch.
The safest way to hook up a portable backup generator with an existing switch or disconnect is to use a trapped key interlock.
Trapped key interlocks (TKI’s) are locks and keys for sequential control of equipment and machinery to ensure safe operation. A safe sequence of operations is enabled through transfer of keys that are either trapped or released in a predetermined order. For example, a key is used to isolate a power source (circuit breaker or supply valve), this key is then released and can then be used to gain access through a gate or door to a high risk area by inserting it into an access lock. The key will then remain trapped until the gate or door is closed. A personnel or safety key can be released from the access lock, this ensures that the gate or door can not be closed and the initial key released until this personnel or safety key is returned. This provides increased operator safety.
We can help identify proper plug types, phase configuration, and cable type for your generator and load.
Options include tap boxes, docking stations, quick-connect panels, or custom generator connection cabinets.
Load Bank Testing
Load bank connections are important because they allow for the quick, safe, and economical load bank testing of generators on scheduled basis. They eliminate the need to disconnect permanent wiring and reduce the time required to service the generator.

Compliance, Safety & Best Practices
Yes, equipment is UL-listed and manufactured to meet or exceed NEC, NFPA, and OSHA requirements. Learn more.
A GFCI is a fast-acting circuit breaker that senses small imbalances in the circuit caused by current leakage to ground and, in a fraction of a second, shuts of the electricity. The GFCI continually matches the amount of current going to an electrical device against the amount of current returning from the device along the electrical path. Whenever the amount “going” differs from the amount “returning” by approximately 5 milliamps, the GFCI interrupts the electric power within as little as 1/40 of a second.
The GFCI, however does not protect from line-to-line contact hazards (such as a worker holding two “hot” wires or a hot and a neutral wire in each hand). It does protect against the most common form of electrical shock hazard – the ground fault, and it also protects against fires, overheating, and destruction of insulation on wiring.
A phase rotation monitor is used to confirm the correct electrical phase rotation to match the existing service, eliminating the likelihood of running any three phase motors backwards and damaging equipment or processes.
We can provide guidance on NEC-compliant grounding, bonding, and installation practices.
Use proper labeling and protective coverings to ensure safety and minimize equipment stress. We offer collapsible storage containers, ideal for transporting and storing temporary power cables, and cable ramps for various applications.

What I like most about the Power Temp team is their responsiveness and communication level. From the initial quote request to submittal review and placing an order, the process is streamlined, well executed, and convenient. I can’t think of a time where if there were any questions, I could not get in touch with someone to discuss the problem. I appreciate that their representatives take the time to call with questions.
