OPM-110/D
power applications requiring 120/240 Volt power. Consult
a licensed electrician for wiring the TemPower plug and
connecting it as temporary service.
To connect these units directly to an un-powered, isolated
construction site TemPower panel, have your electrician
connect to the control panel using a 120/240 Volt, 4-wire
twist-lock plug (14-60P).
NOTE:
Never attempt to use the 240 Volt 3-wire receptacle
to wire into a building. This is a GFCI circuit and is designed
for 240 Volt output only. It has no neutral connection. If
you attempt to draw 120 Volt from this receptacle, the GFCI
breaker will trip.
2. If the generator set is connected to an existing
distribution system, a fully isolated manual transfer switch
must be installed. The transfer switch prevents damage to
the generator and the other circuit components if main
line power is restored while the generator is connected.
Installing a transfer switch also permits the use of normal
fusing.
3.Many homes and construction sites are wired for at least
60 to 100 Amp entrance service, much greater than the
capacity of this portable generator. When installing the
generator at these sites, a secondary emergency distribution
panel may have to be installed. The emergency distribution
panel must be installed by a licensed electrician according
to all applicable codes. The electrician will move the critical
circuits to be powered during the outage to the emergency
panel. Keep in mind only a limited amount of amperage is
available from the generator set. Some circuit breakers may
still have to be turned off to prevent an overload on the
generator during the initial start up. See the nameplate on
your generator for the amperage capabilities of your unit.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to properly limit and balance the load applied to
the generator will cause the generator to produce low
voltage and may damage the engine generator set. It may
also cause severe damage to the loads connected to the
generator at that time. Improper loading of the generator
set constitutes abuse and will not be covered by warranty.
