4. RANGE OF APPLICATIONS Generally, the power rating of an electrical appliance indicates the amount of work that can be done by it. The electric power required for operating an electrical appliance is not always equal to the output wattage of the appliance. The electrical appliances generally have a label showing their rated voltage, frequency, and power consumption (input wattage).

NOTES : Wiring between generator and electrical appliances 1. Allowable current of cable Use a cable with an allowable current that is higher than the rated input current of the load (electrical appliance). If the input current is higher than the allowable current of the cable used, the cable will become excessively heated and deteriorate the insulation, possibly burning it out.
Page 12
(6) AC Receptacle AC receptacles are used for taking AC output power from the generator. The rated current for each receptacle is shown as follows; C AUTION Be careful not to use the receptacles beyond the specified amperage limits to prevent circuit breaker trinpping.
Page 13
When the AC circuit breaker turns off during operation, the generator is over loaded or the appliance is defective. Stop the generator immediately, check the appliance and / or generator for overloading or detect and have repaired as necessary by Subaru Industrial Power Products dealer or service shop. - 11 -...

8. TROUBLESHOOTING 8-1 NO AC OUTPUT 8-1-1 CHECKING STATOR (1) Remove control panel and disconnect stator wires at the connectors. (2) Measure the resistance between terminals on stator leads. Refer to Table of Section 6-3 STATOR for normal resistance. If stator is faulty, replace it with a new one. (3) Check the insulation resistance between stator core and each stator lead using a megger tester.
2) Cleaning Slip rings The slip ring surfaces must be uniformly bright. Slip rings showing black spots, excessive wear, or uneven wear must be repaired. A stained slip ring lowers generator efficiency and output voltage. Polish the slip rings with fine sandpaper while turning the rotor until rough spots disappear.
