AUXILIARY POWER

WARNING
Be sure that any electrical equipment plugged into the
generator AC power receptacles can withstand a ±10%
voltage and a ±3% frequency variation.
The AC auxiliary power, supplied as a standard, has a
rating of 3.0 kVA of 115/230V AC power (60 hertz).
One 115V duplex and one 230V duplex grounding type
receptacle are provided. The circuit is protected with
circuit breakers.
The rating of 3.0 kVA permits a maximum continuous
current of 13 amps to be drawn from the 230 volt
duplex receptacle. Or a total of 26 amps can be drawn
from the 115 volt duplex receptacle. The 115 volt
duplex receptacle permits 15 amps to be drawn from
either half. The total combined load of all receptacles
must not exceed 3.0 kVA.
An optional power plug kit is available. When this kit is
specified, the customer is supplied with a plug for each
receptacle. See the Accessories section of this man-
ual.
An optional GFCI 115 volt receptacle kit is also avail-
able. Note that the use of this GFCI kit reduces available
current to a total of 20 Amps of available 115 volt power.
