Ac Operation - Honda EU3000IS1AG Owner's Manual

AC OPERATION

Before connecting an appliance to the generator, make sure that it is in good
working order and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the
generator.
Most motorized appliances require more than their electrical rating for startup.
When an electric motor is started, the overload alarm (red) may come on. This is
normal if the overload alarm (red) goes off within 4 seconds. If the overload
alarm (red) stays on, consult your Honda Power Equipment dealer.
1. Start the engine (see page 33) and make sure the output indicator (green)
comes on.
2. Plug in the appliance.

3. Turn on the appliance.
If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 3.0 kVA), if there is a short circuit in a
connected appliance, or if the inverter is overheated, the overload alarm (red)
will come ON. The overload alarm (red) will stay ON, and after about five
seconds, current to the connected appliance(s) will shut off, and the output
indicator (green) will go OFF. Stop the engine and investigate the problem.
Determine if the cause is a short circuit in a connected appliance, an overload,
or an overheated inverter. Correct the problem and restart the generator.
