  • Portable electrical generator system for providing temporary distribution of single-phase and three-phase power
    Patent number: 10389261
    Abstract: A portable generator system is used to provide temporary electrical power. The portable generator system has a vehicle, a generator, a step-up system, and a output interface. The step up system has one or more transformers for stepping up a voltage of the generator to a distribution voltage.

  • Portable generator system for providing temporary power to an electrical-distribution system
    Patent number: 9608500
    Abstract: A portable generator produces secondary voltage to feed a portable trailer mounted transformer through secondary cables. Transformer voltages are stepped up to primary levels with disconnects/fuses protecting the transformer and generator. From the fuses a primary underground cable feeds a junction box mounted on the bottom side of the portable trailer for underground applications. Overhead applications include a temporary overhead erectable structure with overhead disconnects. A temporary ground rod with a grounding cable is used to establish a path to ground and a common neutral system for the portable trailer and all components of the portable generator apparatus and system.
