Receptacles, NEMA L14-20, Operation | Briggs & Stratton 30231

RECEPTACLES

A double pole rocker switch circuit breaker is provided to protect all the receptacles and generator against electrical overload.

CAUTION

Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater than generator output capacity.

•NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage than generator or receptacle can supply.

•DO NOT overload the generator. See “Don’t Overload Generator”.

110/220 Volt AC, 20 Amp Locking Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 20 Amps (or greater) (Figure 5).You can use the same 4-wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.

OPERATION

This receptacle powers 110/220 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 1,800 watts of power at

15.0Amps for 110 Volts; 3,600 watts of power (3.6 kW) at 15.0 Amps for 220 Volts.The outlet is protected by a double pole rocker switch circuit breaker.

IMPORTANT: This generator’s locking receptacle is not protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

110 Volt AC, 15 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacles

Each duplex receptacle (Figure 6) is protected against overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

NOTE: If the double pole circuit breaker is tripped, the duplex receptacles are disconnected.

Use each receptacle to operate 110 Volt AC, single–phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to

1,800 watts (1.8 kW) at 15 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater). Inspect cord sets before each use.
