A. 120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle
This duplex is split so that 20 amps of current may be
drawn from each half of the receptacle. However, total power
drawn must be kept within nameplate ratings. These
receptacles may be used along with the twistlock receptacle
provided the generator is not overloaded.
B. 120/240 V, 20 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle
A maximum of 20 amps may be drawn from the 120/240
volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used.
However, current must be limited to the nameplate rating. If the
120/240 volt receptacle is used along with the 120 volt
receptacle, the total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate
ratings.
C. Circuit Breakers
The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If
the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs,
the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all
electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem
before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading
causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load.
NOTE:
Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause
damage to generator or equipment.
The circuit breaker may
be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.
D. 120 V, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle
You may draw a maximum of 30 amps or 3600 watts from
this receptacle. If other receptacles are used at the same time,
total power used must be kept within nameplate ratings.
E. CordKeeper™
The CordKeeper™ is a unique
feature used to prevent plugs from
being pulled out of the 120-volt
receptacles.
