AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES
The auxiliary power of the BIG RED™ 600 consists of Single Phase 60Hz Power. Out put Voltage is within +/- 10% at loads up to rated capacity.
One 120VAC NEMA
One 120VAC European
One 240VAC European
120 V RECEPTACLES
A GFCI module protects, the two 120V Auxiliary Power receptacles. A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) electrical receptacle is a device to protect against electric shock should a piece of defective equipment connected to it develop a ground fault. If this situation should occur, the GFCI module will trip, removing voltage from the output of the receptacle. If a GFCI module is tripped see the MAINTENANCE section for detailed information on testing and reset- ting it. A GFCI module should be properly tested at least once every month.
The 120 V auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved double insulated tools with two wire plugs. The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle.
RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE READY
The BIG RED™ 600 is configured to allow for the addition of a Residual Current Device (RCD) to pro- tect the 240V Single Phase Receptacle. The auxiliary power area on the front panel of the BIG RED™ 600 has a hole sized and shaped to accept a typical
Note: The (RCD) should be rated for at least 15 amps.
There are many suppliers of RCD’s. One example is Allen Bradley, part number
The protective boot can be obtained from:
See Section F Diagrams of this Operator’s Manual for instructions on installing an RCD and protective rub- ber boot.
STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS
The BIG RED™ 600 is suitable for temporary, standby or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.
The BIG RED™ 600 can be permanently installed as a standby power unit for 240 VAC(60Hz). Connections must be made by a licensed electrician who can determine how the 120/240 VAC power can be adapt- ed to the particular installation and comply with all applicable electrical codes.
Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the capacity of the BIG RED™ 600
WARNING
•Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician should install the machine to a premises or resi- dential electrical system. Be certain that:
•The installation complies with the National Electrical Code and all other applicable electrical codes.
•The premises is isolated and no feedback into the utility system can occur. Certain state and local laws require the premises to be isolated before the generator is linked to the premises.
Check your state and local requirements.
