Connecting Electrical Loads
DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to 120 Volt
receptacles.
DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes
after starting.
Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt or 240 Volt,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
Add up the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be
connected at one time. This total should not be
greater than (a) the rated wattage/amperage
capacity of the generator or (b) circuit breaker rating
of the receptacle supplying the power. See Dont
Overload the Generator on page 11.
RECEPTACLES
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacle
Use each receptacle to power 120 Volt AC, single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a
combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current
(Figure 8).
Each outlet is protected against overload by a 20 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use only high quality,
well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp Receptacle
Use a NEMA L5-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect
a 3-wire cord set rated for 125 Volts AC at 20 Amps
(or greater) to the plug (Figure 9).
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz,
single phase loads requiring up to 2400 watts
(2.4 kW) of power at 20 Amps. The outlet is protected
by a 20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.
120 Volt AC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect
a 3-wire cord set rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps
(or greater) to the plug (Figure 10).
