4.5.2 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
A. These two outlets (GFCI 5-20R) are used to
provide 120 Volt, 20 Amp power.
B. This outlet (L5-30) is used to provide 120 Volt,
30 Amp power.
C. This outlet (L14-30) is used to provide 120/240
Volt, 30 Amp power .
D. These 20 Amp breakers are used to protect the
20 Amp 120 Volt outlets (B). Push the switch
to reset.
E. This 30 Amp circuit breaker protects the 30 Amp
L5-30 outlet (B). Push the switch to reset.
KD5000D / KD7300D
F. Main Switch (30 Amp breaker KD7300D & 20
amp KD5000D) is the master overload for the
generator. Move the switch up to engage the
breaker and down to disengage the breaker.
G. Full Power Switch: when the 240V leg is not
used, turning on the full power feature utilizes
the secondary winding of the alternator (used
for 240V) to increase the power capacity of the
120v side.
H. Power Monitor: displays important operating
details of the generator: see Power Monitor
section.

4.5.3 FULL POWER FEATURE
The KD Series alternator is equipped with two
windings, each delivers 120v. when the voltage
selector switch is in the 120V/240V position, the
power circuits (legs) operate in series (like two
separate generators). Each leg supplies half the
amps, specific to receptacles on each leg (one
leg to each 120v receptacle and both legs to 240v
receptacle.).
Since the legs are separate (series) neither leg
can supply power to the other leg’s receptacles.
It is important, to balance the load connected to
each leg.
when the voltage selector switch is in the 120V
MAx position, the 240v is shut off, and the legs
operate in parallel. Increasing the power capacity
of the 120v side, and sharing the total load con-
nected to 120v receptacles. Since both legs share
the total load, there is no need to balance the
load.
120v amperage values in the specification chart
are shown with the Full Power feature on.
