OPERATION
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 15 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker protects the 120V
duplex receptacle output circuit. 15 Amps is the total limit
for both outputs of the duplex receptacle. (Not available
on the 480V three phase generators).
A 50 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker protects the 240V
receptacle output circuit. (Not available on the 480V
three phase generators).
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.
On the W145PTOS and the W150PTOS, you will connect
your power output leads directly to the mainline circuit
breaker.
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 voltages, 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 wattage / Load voltage = Load current (in Amps)
Example: 250W, 120V floodlight load: 250W / 120V = 2
Amps (parrots.)
NOTE: Electric motors require 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.
