WheelHouse™ 5550 Watt Generator
RECEPTACLES
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacle
Each receptacle (Figure 9) is protected against overload by
a push–to–reset circuit breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW)
at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for
125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14–30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 10).You can use the same 4–wire cord if
you plan to run a 120 Volt load.
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 2,775 watts of power at
23.1 Amps for 120 Volts; 5,550 watts of power (5.55 kW)
at 23.1 Amps for 240 Volts.The outlet is protected by a
push–to–reset circuit breaker.
• NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage
than generator or receptacle can supply.
• DO NOT overload the generator. See “Don’t Overload
Generator”.
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater
than generator output capacity.
