Abstract

A power generation system (40) including an interchangeability component connecting device is provided. The system preferably includes an outer housing (60), an inner housing (50), a power generator (70), interchangeable main and neutral leads (102, 116), main side (84) and neutral side (94) current transformers assembled on the respective main and neutral leads, and lead connector interfaces (130, 140) having a plurality of lead connectors (135, 145) are provided. The lead subassemblies (80, 90) preferably include lead subassembly platforms (82, 92) having main leads (102) with main side current transformers (84) and neutral leads (116) with neutral side (94) current transformers positioned thereon. The main (102) and neutral (116) leads are interchangeably connected to first (72) and second (74) side portions of the power generator (70). The present invention also provides methods of interchangeably installing main (102) and neutral (116) leads to first (72) and second (74) side portions of the power generator (70). The present invention further provides methods of installing the main leads (102) in a second configuration such that with no change to the power generator (70), the phase sequence delivered at the power connections will be reversed as compared to a first configuration.
