1. Install the double-pole, double-throw switch

between the power company meter and the
premises disconnect.

Switch rating must be the same or greater than the cus-
tomer’s premises disconnect and service over current
protection.

2. Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to

the capacity of the Commander by installing a 50
amp, 240 VAC double-pole circuit breaker.
Maximum rated load for each leg of the 240 VAC
auxiliary is 50 amperes. Loading above the rated
output will reduce output voltage below the allow-

able -10% of rated voltage, which may damage
appliances or other motor-driven equipment and
may result in overheating of the Commander 500
engine.

3. Install a 50 amp 120/240 VAC plug (NEMA Type

14-50) to the double-pole circuit breaker using No.
6, four-conductor cable of the desired length. (The
50 amp, 120/240 VAC plug is available in the
optional K802R plug kit.)

4. Plug this cable into the 50 amp 120/240 volt recep-

tacle on the Commander 500 case front.
