CONTROL PANEL
- A. 120 V, 15 Ampere Duplex Receptacle
This duplex is split so that 15 amps of current may be drawn from each half of the receptacle. However, the total power drawn must be kept within nameplate ratings. These receptacles may be used along with the twist lock receptacle provided the generator is not overloaded. - B. 120/240 V, 20 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle
A maximum of 20 amps may be drawn from the 120/240 volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used. However, current must be limited to the nameplate rating. If the 120/240 volt receptacle is used along with the 120 volt receptacle, the total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate ratings - C. Circuit Breakers
The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load.
NOTE: Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.
