Generator plan, to scale

Outdoor location, transfer switch, backed-up circuits, distances.

The plan opens on "Lot", a 20.00 m (65' 7") by 15.00 m (49' 3") rectangle (300.00 m² (3,229 sq ft)) that you correct to your own measurements. Already in place: building, generator, generator inlet, transfer switch, main panel, setback or required distance.

How to use it

Adjust the lot first: click its boundary, then correct its lengths in the panel on the right.
Place the generator outside, at the distance required by its manufacturer.
Measure its distance from doors and windows with the measuring tool (D key).
Pick the Link tool (L key): click one symbol, then another. A click on empty space adds a bend.
Export the plan: its notice states what it is and what it is not.

The thickness of fences, hedges and low walls, on one side or the other of the measured line.
The closing gap when on-site measurements contradict each other, and where it lies.

What this plan is, and what it is not

Sketch of intent. Connecting a generator to the house wiring requires a transfer switch installed by a master electrician: never plug it into an outlet. A generator runs outdoors only, far from doors and windows: carbon monoxide kills.
