Cord Sets And Receptacles - Briggs & Stratton P2200 Operator's Manual

Cord Sets and Receptacles

Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded
extension cords with the generator's receptacles.
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 AC
loads 15 Amps or greater. Check operator's manuals
of devices to be powered for the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop.
WARNING Damaged or overloaded electrical
cords could overheat, arc, and burn
resulting in death or serious injury.
• ONLY use cords rated for your loads.
• Follow all safeties on electrical cords.
• Inspect cord sets before each use.
230 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacles
These receptacles are protected against overload by
an internal overload system.
Use receptacles to operate 230 Volt AC, single–
phase, 50 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,600
watts (2.6 kW) at 11.3 Amps of current. Use cord sets
that are rated for 230 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or
greater).
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 Generator Capacity.
5 Volt DC USB Port
The maximum current available for the USB port is 1
Amp at 5 Volts. The USB port allows you to recharge
any USB powered device with a USB charging cable
(not included).
NOTICE For charging ITE (Information Technology
Equipment) only.
12 Volt DC Receptacle
The maximum current available for the battery charge
circuit is 5 Amps. A DC circuit breaker protects this
receptacle from overloads. If an overload occurs, the
circuit breaker will trip (push button pops out). Wait a
few minutes and push the button in to reset the circuit
breaker.
This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt
automotive or utility style storage battery with the
battery charge cable provided.
This receptacle can not be used to crank an engine
having a discharged battery. See Charging a Battery
before attempting to recharge a battery.
NOTICE When using the battery charge circuit and
USB port, turn the QPT switch to the OFF (0) position.
Parallel Operation Port
The parallel operation port allows you to connect two
model inverter generators with an Briggs & Stratton
approved parallel operation kit (optional equipment).
When running in parallel, the total output of power is up
to 4,800 watts (4.8 kW).
