Ac Parallel Operation Applications - Honda EU3200i Owner's Manual

OPERATION
3. Plug in the appliance following the instruction provided with the parallel
cable.
4. Turn on the appliance.
If the generators are overloaded (see page 48), or if there is a short circuit in a
connected appliance, the overload alarm indicator (red) will go ON. The
overload alarm indicator (red) will stay ON, and after about 10 seconds when an
overload or about 5 seconds in case of a short circuit, current to the connected
appliance(s) will shut off, and the output indicator (green) will go OFF. Stop both
engines and investigate the problem.
Determine if the cause is a short circuit in a connected appliance or an overload.
Correct the problem and restart the generator.

AC Parallel Operation Applications

Follow the instructions included with the parallel cable.
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
• Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or power cord
can create a potential for electrical shock.
• If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops
suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine
whether the problem is the appliance or the rated load capacity of the
generator has been exceeded.
• Never connect different generator models and types.
• Use only a Honda approved parallel cable (optional equipment) when
connecting two EU3200i generators for parallel operation.
• Never connect or remove the parallel cable when the generator is running.
• For single generator operation, the parallel cable must be removed.
