Testing Generator output at GFCI receptacle:
● Generator output may be simply tested by using a multimeter to measure
the voltage across the terminals of the GFCI power receptacle.
● To test the power output at the GFCI receptacle, the engine must be
running and the main breaker and the receptacle breaker must be
switched to the “ON” position.
● Set the multimeter to the AC volt position and insert the probe tips into the
hot and neutral sides of the GFCI receptacle, see Example “L”.
● A meter reading of 120.0 volts +10% indicates that the generator is
operating properly.
● A reading less than 120 volts +10% indicates that the generator may be
malfunctioning, or that there may be a problem with the main circuit
breaker, the pop-out receptacle circuit breaker, the GFCI receptacle itself,
or the wiring in between any of these.
● Note:
Many Allmand light towers designed for use outside of North
America operate at 230 volts/50 Hz. Testing is done the same way
following the above instructions. If you are unsure which voltage your light
tower is designed to produce contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
● Example “L”
WARNING: Dangerous voltage and/or current may be present when a
voltage test is being conducted. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death from
electrical shock, if you are not trained to safely work with high voltage, do not attempt
any of these procedures. You must seek assistance from qualified personnel.
