5.4EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

Instructions and information in this section pertain to Generac air-cooled generators. These generators are designed specifically for installing in recreational vehicles. They operate 120-volt, single-phase, 60- Hertz, AC electrical loads.

5.5GENERATOR ENGINE

OPERATING SPEED

The generator’s revolving field (rotor) is driven by a single-cylinder, four-cycle engine through a pulley and drive belt arrangement. The generator supplies 120 volts AC at 60 Hertz when the rotor is operating at 3,600 rpm.The drive belt arrangement allows the engine to operate at a lower speed than the rotor.

5.6GENERATOR AC

CONNECTION SYSTEM

These air-cooled generator sets are equipped with dual stator AC power windings. These two stator windings supply electrical power to customer electrical loads by means of a dual 2-wire connection system.

Generators may be installed to provide the following outputs:

1)120 VAC loads only — one load with a maximum total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and 120V across the generator output terminals. (See Fig. 5.1 below)

2)120/240 VAC loads — one load with a maximum total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s rated power output, and 240 V across the generator output terminals; or two seperate loads, each with a maximum total wattage requirement equal to half of the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and 120 V across the generator output terminals. (See Fig. 5.3 on page 22)
