GE GenTower Generator Connection

Like Scotty himself, the GenTower, from megacorp GE's Energy/Industrial Solutions division, doesn't generate power personally. It's essentially a plug-in router that connects to your emergency generator (such as those we've spotlighted here and here) in a quick and relatively easy way that most anyone can learn — thus minimizing downtime and not making your co-op or condo dependent on any one person who may or may not be able to get there.

You hook up the GenTower via color-coded, cam-lock quick-connects and traditional lugs, with the sequence of operation clearly displayed on the front cover. With models rated from 800 to 4,000 amps, it's designed to distribute emergency power to the likes of hospitals and manufacturing facilities, so it can surely handle a two- or three-hundred-apartment co-op / condo.
The smallest model measures 30(w) x 90(h) x 35(de) and weights 1,115 pounds. The largest is 80(w) x 90(h) x 40(d) and weights over a ton-and-a-half. Now if only we had a transporter beam!
