Installation / Initial Set-Up
14
In addition to isolating your generator from the utility system, the transfer
switch connects your generator to a limited set of circuits in your building
that have been chosen as critical to operate during a power outage.
This generator can power up to 9,600 watts, which may not power your entire
home or farm outbuilding -- you must work with the installing electrician to
determine which devices/appliances you wish to power during an outage.
The electrician can help you determine which circuits and devices can be
powered simultaneously without overloading the generator.
(See the previous section of this manual entitled “Power Load Planning &
Management” for more information on load application and selection.)
Using as a
Portable Power
Source When using the generator as a portable power source, you can plug
electric devices and appliances directly into the generator’s electrical
outlets.
There are three different kinds of electrical outlets on the generator:
1. One 120/240 Volt, 40 Amp straight-blade receptacle (NEMA 14-50R
receptacle compatible with NEMA 14-50P mating plug). This
receptacle has two 40 Amp circuit breakers to limit maximum current.
2. One 120 Volt, 30 Amp locking receptacle (NEMA L5-30R locking
receptacle compatible with L5-30P mating plug)
3. Two 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex straight-blade receptacles (NEMA 5-
20R duplex receptacles compatible with NEMA 5-20P or 5-15P
mating plugs).
(See more technical detail about these receptacles and their associated
circuit breakers in the “Machine Component Identification” section of this
manual.)
