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, Anderson plug.
NOTE:
To use the 120/240 Volt L14-30 receptacle to wire
into a building, make sure the transfer switch is compatible
for GFCI protected generators.
2. If the generator set is connected to an existing
distribution system, a fully isolated manual transfer switch
must be installed. The transfer switch must be compatible
with GFCI protected generators. WINCO recommends
Reliance manual transfer switches. 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.
