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 receptacles shown when the voltage selector
switch is in the 120/240 V position.
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 25.0 A.

* The table shows the specification when the 120/240 V Twist Lock
Receptacle is used for 120 V.
Example:
Receptacle 2 has a 10 A load connected to it. Receptacle 3 has a 10 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 20 A. 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 10 A load (less than 12.5 A) and circuit II is powering
the 10 A load (less than 12.5 A).
