of this table is the responsibility of the user only. This table is intended for reference only. The results produced by

Using Westinghouse Power Cord

Use the extension cord chart to determine the size
of the conductor for extension cord applications.
Determine the distance of the generator to the
appliance on the top line of the chart. Then select the
rated amperage of the generator on the left side of the
chart. Where the two meet is the size of the conductor
required for the application.
When using the Westinghouse fan power cord (sold
separate) connect to the 120/240V outlet. The opposite
end of the power cord is a fan tail receptacle with
2 green receptacles and 2 red receptacles. Each
receptacle is rated at 120 volts AC. To balance the
load on the generator's alternator, use the red and
green identifiers on the fan tail receptacle. To keep
the load balanced, connect the loads so that both 2
Green Dots
color receptacles are used. An example is one in red
and one in green. Do not connect 2 in red and none in
green, or 2 in green and none in red. If only one color
1
Red Dots
receptacle is used with multiple loads, the alternator
may experience an unbalanced load, causing undue
