Page 23: Installation
Operation GS 12Ai Approximate Starting Power Requirements • Incandescent lights and appliances such as irons and hot plates, which use a resistive-type heating element, require the same wattage to start and run as is stated on their nameplates. • Fluorescent and mercury lamps require 1.2–2 times their stated watt- age to start. -
Page 24: Generator Derating
GS 12Ai Operation Generator Derating All generators are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output. -
Page 25: Use Of Extension Cords
Operation GS 12Ai Use of Extension Cords When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance. - Page 26 GS 12Ai Operation Minimum Extension Cord Size 230V Volts Total length of cord in meters 230 V 0 - 30 30 - 60 Amp Rating Cross sectional area of wire in mm 0.75 Minimum Extension Cord Size 400V 400 V...
