## SPD's/TVSS's
Labor only.
Specific item is not important, but I use
`SPLITTERS / SOCKETS / CABINETS`/`METER SOCKETS & CABINETS`/`METERING CURRENT TRANSFORMER`
(Labor = 1.5hrs)
for consistency.
## Submeters/Power Monitors
See [[switchgear#SPD's/TVSS's]]
## Panelboards
`DISTRIBUTION`/`DIST PANELS & UNIT LOAD CENTERS`/...
## Disconnects and Enclosed Circuit Breakers
`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`DISTRIBUTION`/`MANUAL DISCONNECTS`/...
## Generators
Add `DISTRIBUTION FITTINGS`/`GENERATOR SET UP`.
## Generator Connection Cabinets
Use a Distribution Panel of equal amps.
Or a transfer switch.
## Transfer Switches
> "300A ATS"
### Transfer Switches 1200A+
Use 1200A and add an additional `TRANSFER SWITCH` item
to make up the remaining amps.
## Meter Centers
`SWITCHGEAR & METER CENTERS`/`METER CENTERS`/`... METERING SECTION`
Adjust Factor 1 for meter stacks, delete zeroed items.
