♥ The Rated Input Current should be used for the determination of cable size & supply requirements.
♠ Motor start fuses or thermal circuit breakers are recommended for this application. Check local
requirements for your situation in this regard.
♣ Generator Requirements at the Maximum Output Duty Cycle.
♦ Reduced output ratings apply with the supplied 20A primary lead. To achieve the maximum rated
output & duty cycle ratings the 20A primary lead must be replaced with a larger primary lead as
specified in section 3.04. This must be carried out be a qualified electrical tradesperson.
