Installation / Initial Set-Up
14
The generator cannot power your entire home -- you must work with the
installing electrician to determine which devices/appliances you wish to
power during an outage. The electrician can help you determine which
circuits and devices can be powered simultaneously without overloading the
generator.
(See the previous section of this manual entitled “
Power Load Planning &
Management”
for more information on load application and selection.)
Using as a
Portable Power
Source
When using the generator as a portable power source, you can plug
electric devices and appliances directly into the generator’s electrical
outlets.
There are four different kinds of electrical outlets on the generator:
1. One 120 Volt, 50 Amp straight-blade receptacle (NEMA 5-50R
receptacle compatible with NEMA 5-50P mating plug)
2. One 120/240 Volt, 30 Amp locking receptacle (NEMA L14-30R
locking receptacle compatible with L14-30P mating plug)
3. One 120 Volt, 30 Amp locking receptacle (NEMA L5-30R receptacle
compatible with NEMA L5-30P mating plug)
4. Two 120 Volt, 20 Amp, duplex GFCI-protected straight-blade
receptacles (NEMA 5-20R duplex receptacles compatible with
NEMA 5-20P or 5-15P mating plugs) – with a single, shared trip
light and reset button.
Note: This generator is equipped with a Full Power Switch that allows you
to switch between 120V only or 120/240V power at the outlets. See
the “Machine Component Identification” section of this manual for
more information about the use of the Full Power Switch.
(See more technical detail about these receptacles and their associated
circuit breakers in the “Machine Component Identification” section of this
manual.)
