Briggs & Stratton 206484GS Portable Generator User Manual


 
11
This rating is applicable to installations served by a
reliable normal utility source. This rating is only applicable
to variable loads with an average load factor of 80% of
the standby rating. The standby rating is only applicable
for optional standby power where the generator set
serves as the backup to the normal utility source.
Use the wattage reference table provided and mark those
circuits you consider “critical” or “essential”. Make sure you
and your installer consider the system’s altitude above sea
level and the ambient temperature range when determining
total generator load.
IMPORTANT: When using the 100 Amp or 200 Amp transfer
switch with the home generator, you must turn off any non
essential loads. Failure to turn off non essential loads could
overload the generator causing it to shut down.
Some examples of non essential loads are as follows:
• Pool pump
• Hot tub
• Electric hot tub and/or pool heaters
• Central air conditioners
• Electric hot water heaters
• Electric range and/or oven
• Arc welder
• Non essential electric heaters
