RECEPTACLES

120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14–30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 7).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.

This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 5,500 watts of power (5.5 kW) at 30 Amps for 120 Volts or 240 Volts.The outlet is protected by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

CAUTION! Although this outlet states it has a 120/240 Volt 30 Amp rating (up to 7,200 watts), the generator is only rated for 5,500 watts. Powering loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator can damage it or cause serious injuries.

Each duplex receptacle (Figure 8) is protected against overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

Figure 8 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp Duplex Receptacle

Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW) at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).

CAUTION! These outlets are rated at 120 Volt 20 Amp each (up to 80 Amps).The generator is only rated for up to 45.8 Amps. Powering loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator can damage it or cause serious injuries.
