Appendix C- Parallel Operation

Beginning with the 2011 model year, an IG1000P model was introduced. The IG1000P can be connected
through a parallel kit to a 2011 IG1000P, an IG2000P, or an IG2600P. Connection to an IG2000P built
before 2011 is not permitted.
There are two approved Kipor parallel kits. One has a maximum capacity of 30 amps and has a single 30
amp receptacle. The other has a capacity of 50 amps and has one single 20 amp and one single 30 amp
receptacle. Both receptacles are controlled by circuit breakers.
See the operator's manual for correct operation of the parallel generators and the parallel kits.
