As the use of this project will hopefully be so infrequent that it doesn't warrant an auto starting generator, but that peice of control kit looks really good.
I have written a procedure, prior to use, and in that it lists the breakers to isolate before starting and transfering load to the generator to prevent overloading, the spliting of essencial loads can be manually managed in my case.
I have attached two pics, one showing the rear of the power meter, the other the connection arrangment.
Tip: Don't trust the meter template that comes with the instructions to be accurate grrrr, centre punched through the template, marked out, drilled, only to find the holes were out, luckily the front covers up the mistake.
Connection wise, I have used bootlace ferruls on the cables to make them tidy, neutral uses a straight through DIN rail mounted connection, the live passes through a fused DIN rail mounted connection.
I did have to extend the current transformers connections to allow the lid sufficent slack to be moved out of the way during serviceing at a later date.
The sleeving has a conductive drain wire, hence the use of a pyro copper clip to earth.
Thanks for the links and info, I found loads of stuff on youtube about the connection and use of home generators, was seriously sad, sat infront of the lappy, headphones on listening to some guy in a check shirt talking about his setup
