2.3 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS

2.3.1 120 VAC, 20 AMP, DUPLEX RECEPTACLE

This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 9). Use each socket to power
120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a
combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only
high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than
15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of
wires.

2.3.2 120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/
unlock). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug
and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volts
AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 10).
Figure 10 - 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or
240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200 watts
(7.2 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by a 2-pole
circuit breaker.

2.3.3 120/240 VAC, 50 AMP RECEPTACLE (10KW)

Use a NEMA 14-50 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4-wire
cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 50 Amps to the plug (Figure 11).
Use this receptacle to operate 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz electrical
loads requiring up to 10,000 watts (10.0 kW) of power at 41.6
Amps for 240 volts or two independent 120 Volt loads. This
receptacle is protected by a 42 Amp 2-pole circuit breaker.
Receptacles may be marked with rating values greater than
generator output capacity.

2.3.4 GROUND FAULT SENSING MODULE

This unit is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
This device meets applicable federal, state and local codes. The
ground fault sensing module covers all receptacles.
In the event of a ground fault, the GFCI will trip and quickly stop the
flow of electricity to prevent serious injury.
Definition: The GFCI constantly monitors electricity flowing in a
circuit. If the current flowing through the circuit varies from what
is returning by even a small amount, the GFCI instantly switches
power off by tripping the main circuit breaker on the generator's
control panel.
A GFCI does NOT protect against circuit overloads, short circuits,
or shocks. For example, electric shock can still occur if a person
touches charged electrical wires while standing on a non-
conducting surface, such as a wood floor.
Test the GFCI outlet before each use as follows (Figure 12):
• Start the generator.
• Plug a test lamp into duplex receptacle, the lamp should be
on.
• Press the "Test" button on the GFCI to trip the device. The main
breaker should 'trip', this being indicated by the movement of
the actuator handle to the 'OFF' position.
• This should stop the flow of electricity making the lamp shut
off. If the main breaker does not 'trip', the GFCI is not working
and the generator should not be used. Contact a local service
dealer.
