    BIG Generator Cables Needed - Nursing Home

    Hello all,

    We are looking for some big generator cables to hook up a 100KW gen set to a nursing home that needs help badly. We can't find any generator company or electrician that has any cables left. They have the generator coming and the electrician to tie it in, but no cables. This is needed in Center, TX.

    I'm no electrician, but if you know generators you will know what we need. They're about and inch in diameter and we need 50' of cables.

    Please PM me if you have any leads.

    EDIT: The generator is coming out of Dallas and we have folks who could pick them in DFW up and drive them down to Center. We'd also pay someone to deliver.

    Thanks

        Rental companies that rent these behemoths would be the first place I check.



        please excuse brevity and dictation errors.

          Thanks. I've called 8 or 9 rental companies and none of them have any cables left. I was lucky to even find a generator. They were the only company who had one.

            Call the Electric Coops. They sell cable.

                            You could double up with several welding cables on each leg from the generator to the panel.

                              Also, you are needing #2x 5 wire cable on the light end however I would probably go with 4/0 cable if you can find it.
