Section 1 – General Information

PRIMEPACT 50 and 70 (50Hz) Recreational Vehicle Generators

1.2GENERATOR APPLICABILITY

These generators have been designed and manufac- tured for supplying electrical power for recreational vehicles. You should not modify the generator or use it for any application other than for what it was designed. If there are any questions pertaining to its application, write or call the factory. Do not use the unit until you have been advised by a competent authority.

For fire safety, the generator must have been properly installed in compliance with ANSI 119.2-1975/NFPA 501C-1974, “Standard for Recreational Vehicles, Part III – Installation of Electrical Systems.” The generator also must have been installed in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s detailed installation instruc- tions. After installation, do nothing that might render the unit in noncompliance with such codes, standards and instructions.

◆1.2.1 PRIMEPACT 70

Use this generator to supply electrical power for operating 230-volt, single-phase, 50 Hertz, AC elec- trical loads. These loads can require up to 7,000 watts (7.0 kW) of power, but cannot exceed 30.4 AC amperes of current at 230 volts.

◆1.2.2 PRIMEPACT 50

Use this generator to supply electrical power for operating 230 volt, single phase, 50 Hertz AC electri- cal loads. These loads can require up to 5,000 watts (5.0 kW) of power, but cannot exceed 20.8 amperes of current at 230 volts.

Do not overload the generator. Some installa- tions may require that electrical loads be alter- nated to avoid overloading. Applying exces- sively high electrical loads may damage the generator and may shorten its life. Add up the rated watts of all electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads the generator will power at one time. This total should not be greater than the wattage capacity of the generator. If an electrical device nameplate gives only volts and amps, multiply volts times amps to obtain watts (volts x amps = watts). Some electric motors require more watts of power (or amps of current) for starting than for continuous operation.

1.3INSTALLATION

This manual has been prepared under the assump- tion that a competent, qualified technician installed the generator into a recreational vehicle. We also assume the installer complied with all applicable codes, standards and regulations pertaining to instal- lation.

Owners/Operators should make sure nothing is done during installation that might render the unit unsafe or in noncompliance with applicable codes standards and instructions. They should be sure the unit has been installed to allow adequate ventilation for cool- ing and exhaust air.

1.4SAFETY

Before attempting to use the generator set, carefully read the “Safety Rules” section of this manual. Comply strictly with these rules to prevent accidents and damage to equipment and/or property. We sug- gest copying and posting the “Safety Rules” in poten- tial hazard areas of the vehicle. Stress safety to all operators and potential operators of this equipment.

1.5GENERATOR AC

CONNECTION SYSTEM

This generator set is equipped with dual stator AC power windings. These two-stator windings supply electrical power to customer electrical loads.

NOTE:

One side of the winding is grounded.
