8.1 Four-Lead Reconnection
The following information illustrates the reconnection of
four-lead generator sets. In all cases, conform to the
National Electrical Code (NEC).

from an authorized service distributor/dealer.
8.1.1 100--120-Volt Configurations
If the installation requires a factory two-pole circuit
breaker, do not connect the load-side terminals of the
circuit breaker together; see Figure 8-1. If the
installation requires a 100--120-volt, 2-wire system, use
a single-pole circuit breaker. See Figure 8-2. When
connecting stator phase leads together, size the output
lead (L1) to handle the amperage. Use a jumperlead on
the line side of the circuit breaker to balance the load of
the generator set.

8.1.2 100--120/200--240-Volt
Configurations
The 100--120/200--240-volt configuration does not use
a jumper lead. If the unit was originally wired for straight
100--120 volt, 3-wire, remove the jumper lead (see
Figure 8-1 for location). Select a two-pole circuit
breaker. Application of two single-pole circuit breakers
does not conform to NEC requirements for supplying a
200--240-volt load, even if the breakers are
mechanically attached together. Leads L1 and L2 are
for different phases; never connect them together.
