ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

CAUTION:

Only qualified electricians should install electrical wiring.
Wiring must conform to all applicable national, state, and local
codes. (Reference: National Fire Protection Association
Manual No. 70, National Electrical Code.)

DANGER: PERSONAL INJURY

IF THE GENERATOR IS TO BE USED AS A STANDBY
POWER SOURCE, A SPECIAL DISCONNECT SWITCH MUST
BE INSTALLED TO SEPARATE THE GENERATOR AND THE
COMMERCIAL POWER LINES. THE DISCONNECT MUST
ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM THE COMMERCIAL
POWER LINES AND THE LOAD WHEN THE GENERATOR IS
ON STANDBY, AND MUST ISOLATE THE COMMERCIAL
POWER LINES FROM THE LOAD AND THE GENERATOR
WHEN THE GENERATOR IS SUPPLYING POWER. SEE
FIGURE 5.

OPERATION

OUTPUT POWER AVAILABLE AND LOAD DETERMINATION

Before using the generator, read and understand the following
information.

Generator output current (amperage) is internally limited by
three circuit breakers. If too much demand is placed on a
generator output (if you try to drive too many motors with it, for
example), one of the circuit breakers will trip, cutting off the
output in order to protect the generator.

A 20 amp push-to-reset circuit breaker protects the 120V
duplex receptacle output circuit. 20 amps is the total limit for
both outputs of the duplex receptacle.

A 50 amp two pole switch type circuit breaker protects the
240V receptacle output circuit.

A large two pole (three pole for three phase) switch type main
circuit breaker protects the generator windings and output
circuits, including the load disconnect receptacle outputs. (The
load disconnect receptacle is the large gray receptacle on the
generator output panel.)

To aid in determining how much load can be applied to the
generator, and how it should be distributed among the
generator output receptacles, the following formulas may be
useful. Get load voltage, current, and wattage from the
nameplates on the equipment in the load.

(Load Current, in amps) x (Load Voltage) = (Load Wattage)

AMPS X VOLTS = WATTS
WATT/1000 = kW

(Load Current in amps) = (Load Wattage)/(Load Voltage)

Example:

250W, 120V floodlight load = 250W/120V= 2 amps (approx.)

NOTE:
Electric motors require much more current to start than to run.
Commonly, the current rating given on a motor nameplate is
the full load (running) current required by the motor, not its
starting current, which is a lot higher. Motor starting current
requirements vary greatly, by motor size and type. Repulsion-
induction type motors are the easiest to start, typically using 1
1/2 to 2 1/2 times as much current to start as to run; capacitor
type motors usually require 2 to 4 times as much current to
start as to run; split-phase type motors are the hardest to start,
normally using 5 to 7 times as much current to start as to run.

Compiled from N.E.C. Manual.

To use the full capacity of the generator without tripping its
circuit breaker(s), start the motors in the load one at a time,
highest starting current motor first, next highest second, etc.
Use the preceding table as a source of general information
about motor running current requirements. For more specific
information, see motor nameplate or motor manufacturer’s
catalog.

PRE-START CHECKS

WARNING:  Personal Injury

When working on or around these generators, do not wear
loose fitting clothing or any articles that may get caught in
moving parts.

1. Visually inspect the generator. Check for:

a. Correct mounting
b. Physical damage
c. Debris in cooling vents and screens (could
cause generator to overheat).

IMPORTANT: The manufacturer recommends that, if the
generator has been stored for any length of time, before using
it, the operator remove the control box cover and cooling fan
screen, then inspect the generator for rodent nests or other
objects that could cause generator binding and/or
overheating. See “Cleaning” portion of Maintenance section.
