AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES
The auxiliary power of the BIG RED™ 500 consists of
Single Phase 60Hz Power. Output Voltage is within
+/- 10% at loads up to rated capacity.
One 120VAC NEMA (5-20R) 20 amp duplex recepta-
cle is protected by a 20 amp circuit breaker that pro-
vides 2400 watts Continuous power. Maximum current
is 20 amps total.
One 120VAC European (IEC-309) 16 amp receptacle
is protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker that provides
1800 watts Continuous power. Maximum current is 15
amps.
One 240VAC European (IEC-309) 16 amp receptacle
is protected by a 15 amp 2-pole circuit breaker that
provides 3600 watts Continuous power. The 2-pole
circuit breaker disconnects both hot leads at the same
time. Maximum current is 15 amps.
120 V RECEPTACLES
A GFCI protects, the two 120V Auxiliary
Powerreceptacles.A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter)is a device to protect against electric shock
should apiece of defective equipment connected to it
developa ground fault. If this situation should occur,
the GFCIwill trip, removing voltage from the output of
thereceptacle. If a GFCI is tripped see the MAINTE-
NANCE section for detailed information on testing
andresetting it. A GFCI should be properly tested at
leastonce every month.
The 120 V auxiliary power receptacles should only
beused with three wire grounded type plugs or
approveddouble insulated tools with two wire plugs.
The currentrating of any plug used with the system
must be atleast equal to the cu
RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE READY
The BIG RED™ 500 is configured to allow for the
addition of a Residual Current Device (RCD) to pro-
tect the 240V Single Phase Receptacle. The auxiliary
power area on the front panel of the BIG RED™ 500
has a hole sized and shaped to accept a typical 2-pole
(RCD) along with a protective rubber boot. A cover
plate with a label “
RCD READY ” covers the hole and
secures a mounting bracket on the backside of the
panel.
Note: The (RCD) should be rated for at least 15 amps.
There are many suppliers of RCD’s. One example is
Allen Bradley, part number 1492-RCD2A40.
The protective boot can be obtained from:
APM-Hexseal, part number HE-1035
See Section F Diagrams of this Operator’s Manual for
instructions on installing an RCD and protective rub-
ber boot.
STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS
The BIG RED™ 500 is suitable for temporary, standby
or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s
recommended maintenance schedule.
The BIG RED™ 500 can be permanently installed as
a standby power unit for 240 VAC(60Hz). Connections
must be made by a licensed electrician who can
determine how the 120/240 VAC power can be adapt-
ed to the particular installation and comply with all
applicable electrical codes.
Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the
capacity of the BIG RED™ 500
• Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician
should install the machine to a premises or resi-
dential electrical system. Be certain that:
• The installation complies with the National
Electrical Code and all other applicable electrical
codes.
• The premises is isolated and no feedback into
the utility system can occur. Certain state and
local laws require the premises to be isolated
before the generator is linked to the premises.
Check your state and local requirements.
