120 VAC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex
Receptacle
The 120 Volt outlet is overload protected by a
20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. See Fig-
ure 2-6 . Each receptacle will power 120 Volt
AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads
requiring up to 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20
Amps of current. Use only high quality, well-
insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater). It also pro-
vides protection with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter with a press to TEST and RESET
button.
NOTE: Limit length of extension cords to fif-
teen feet, or less, to prevent voltage drop and
overheating of wires.

Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle
(rotate to lock/unlock). Connect a suitable 4-
wire grounded cord set to plug and desired
load. The cord set should be rated 250 Volts
AC at 30 Amps (or greater). See Figure 2-8 .
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60
Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 3600
watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or 240
Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring
up to 7200 watts (7.2 kW) of power at 30
Amps. The outlet is protected by one 30 Amp
2-pole circuit breaker.
