ACDelco AC-G0003 instruction manual Some Notes about Power Cords

Page 18

Connect only electrical devices that are in good working order. Faulty devices or power cords present the risk of electrical shock. Immediately turn off and disconnect any device that commences to operate abnormally, sluggish or abruptly stops. Determine if the problem was the device or the rated load capacity of this generator has been exceeded.

NOTE: Plug appliances into the correct outlet. Connect standard 120 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz loads to the 120 Volt outlet. Connect 240/120Volt, single phase, 60Hz loads with a NEMA L14-30 plug only to the 240/120 Volt outlet. See Figure 8 for an illustration of these outlets.

Even though this ACDelco AC-G0003 Portable Generator has an overall rated wattage of 5000, do not attempt to draw more than 5400 Watts (20 A) from any ONE of the 120 Volt outlets. Draws higher than 5400 Watts (20 A) will damage this generator and void the warranty.

3. Switch the circuit breaker to the “on” position.

NOTE: While this generator is running, power is available from either the standard 120 Volt outlets or the 240/120 Volt NEMA outlet. Both 120 Volts and 240 Volts can be simultaneously drawn from this generator.

4.Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device with the next lower rated wattage requirement.

Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to this generator.

SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS

Long or thin cords can require more wattage from a generator to power an electrical device. Figure 9 shows the recommended cords according to the power requirement of the electrical device. When using cords that exceed these specifications, allow for the electrical device to have a slightly higher rated wattage requirement.
