Generator AC Connection System

A single-phase, three-wire AC connection system is used in the home generator. The stator assembly consists of a pair of stationary windings with two leads brought out of each winding. The junction of leads 22 and 33 forms the neutral lead, as shown schematically and as a wiring diagram. A complete schematic and wiring diagram can be found later in this manual.

NOTICE Neutral is not bonded to ground at generator.

NOTICE Generator must be used with only an UL approved transfer switch that is compatible with the generator.
