Cord Sets And Receptacles - Briggs & Stratton PRO6500 Manuel D'utilisation

Cord Sets and Receptacles

Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension
cords with the generator's 120 Volt duplex receptacle.
Inspect extension cords before each use.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Extension cord sets used should be rated for 125 Volt
AC loads at 20 Amps or greater for most electrical devices.
Some devices, however, may not require this type of
extension cord. Check the operator's manuals of those
devices for the manufacturer's recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop.
WARNING Overloaded electrical cords can overheat,
arc, and burn resulting in death, bodily injury,
and/or property damage.
• ONLY use cords rated for your loads.
• Follow all safeties on electrical cords.
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). You can use the same 4-wire cord if you plan to run
a 120 Volt load.

NEMA L14-30
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 6,500 watts of power (6.5 kW) at
27.0 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt loads
at 27.0 Amps each. The outlet is protected by a 2 pole GFCI
circuit breaker.
NOTICE Receptacles may be marked with rating value
greater than generator output capacity.
• 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.

120 Volt AC, 30 Amp Locking Receptacle
Use a NEMA L5–30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
3–wire cord set rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps to
the plug.
3-Wire Cord Set
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 3,600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30
Amps. The outlet is protected by a 2 pole GFCI circuit breaker.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle
The duplex receptacle is protected against overload by a
push–to–reset circuit breaker and/or a 2 pole GFCI circuit
breaker.
Use 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). Inspect cord sets before
each use.
12 Volt DC, 10 Amp Receptacle
This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt automotive
or utility style storage battery with the battery charge cables
provided.
This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can not
be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery. See
the section Charging a Battery before attempting to recharge
a battery.
