A-6 INSTALLATION
VANTAGE® 500-I
A-6
AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES
Start the engine and set the “IDLER” control switch to
the “High Idle” mode. Voltage is now correct at the
receptacles for auxiliary power. This must be done
before a tripped GFCI can be reset properly. See the
MAINTENANCE section for more detailed information
on testing and resetting the GFCI.
The auxiliary power of the VANTAGE® 500-I consists
of Single Phase and Three Phase 60Hz Power. Out put
Voltage is within +/- 10% at loads up to rated capacity.
Single Phase:
One 120VAC NEMA (5-20R) 20 amp duplex receptacle
is protected by a 20 amp circuit breaker that provides
2400 watts Peak / 2400 watts Continuous power.
Maximum current is 20 amps total.
One 120VAC (IEC 309) 16 amp receptacle is protected
by a 15 amp circuit breaker that provides 1800 watts
Peak / 1800 watts Continuous power. Maximum current
is 15 amps.
One 240VAC (IEC 309) 16 amp receptacle is protected
by a 15 amp 2-pole circuit breaker that provides 3600
watts Peak / 3600 watts Continuous power. The 2-pole
circuit breaker disconnects both hot leads at the same
time. Maximum current is 15 amps.
Three-Phases:
One 240VAC NEMA (15-50R) 50 amp receptacle is
protected by a 50 amp 3-pole circuit breaker that pro-
vides 19,000 watts Peak / 17,000 watts Continuous
power. The 3-pole circuit breaker disconnects all 3
Phases at the same time. Maximum current is 41
amps.
120 V RECEPTACLES
A GFCI protects, the two 120V Auxiliary Power recep-
tacles. A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) elec-
trical receptacle is a device to protect against electric
shock should a piece of defective equipment connected
to it develop a ground fault. If this situation should
occur, the GFCI will trip, removing voltage from the out-
put of the receptacle. If a GFCI is tripped see the
MAINTENANCE section for detailed information on
testing and resetting it. A GFCI should be properly test-
ed at least once every month.
The 120 V auxiliary power receptacles should only be
used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved
double insulated tools with two wire plugs. The current
rating of any plug used with the system must be at
least equal to the current capacity of the associated
receptacle.
RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE READY
The Vantage 500-I is configured to allow for the addi-
tion of a Residual Current Device (RCD) to protect the
240V Single Phase Receptacle. The auxiliary power
area on the front panel of the Vantage 500-I has a
hole sized and shaped to accept a typical 2-pole
(RCD). A coverplate with a label “RCD READY” cov-
ers the hole and secures a mounting bracket on the
backside of the panel. See Section F Diagrams of this
Operator’s Manual for instructions on installing an
(RCD).
Note: The (RCD) should be rated for 15 amps.
STANDbY POWER CONNECTIONS
The VANTAGE® 500-I is suitable for temporary,
standby or emergency power using the engine manu-
facturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.
The VANTAGE® 500-I can be permanently installed
as a standby power unit for 240 VAC, 3 wire, single
phase, 50 amp service. Connections must be made
by a licensed electrician who can determine how the
120/240 VAC power can be adapted to the particular
installation and comply with all applicable electrical
codes.
Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the
capacity of the VANTAGE® 500-I
• Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician
should install the machine to a premises or resi-
dential electrical system. be certain that:
• The installation complies with the National
Electrical Code and all other applicable electrical
codes.
• The premises is isolated and no feedback into
the utility system can occur. Certain state and
local laws require the premises to be isolated
before the generator is linked to the premises.
Check your state and local requirements.
