Ac Receptacle Selection - Honda EB3500X Owner's Manual

AC Receptacle Selection
The generator has two separate main power producing circuits.
These two circuits supply equal power to different receptacles
shown when the voltage selector switch is in the 120/24OV po-
sition.
When two or more receptacles are used; prevent overloading by
dividing the load between the two power circuits.
The chart below shows the rated load in amperes that can be
connected to each receptacle to balance the generator.
The total rated ampere draw is 25.OA.

Main Circuit I
2,3and4 2+3+4=12.5A rated.
Main Circuit II

1 -I- 5=12.5A rated.
*The table shows the specifications when the 120/24OV locking
plug receptacle is used for 120V.
Example:
Receptacle 2 has a IOA load connected to it. Receptacle 3 has a IO
A load connected to it. Both receptacles are powered by main
power circuit II. The equation tells us that the total power draw on
circuit II is 25A. This is a substantial overload of this circuit. To
eliminate the excess power draw on circuit II, the load from
receptacle 3 should be switched to receptacle 1. Now circuit I is
powering the IOA load (less than 12.5A) and circuit II is powering
the IOA load (less than 12.5A).
