The “Output Terminal Panel” is provided with the following:

"Three 120/240V output receptacles, 50 amp

"Two 120V input receptacles, 20 amp

"3 Load Circuit Breakers 250V @50 amps

"2 Load GFCI Circuit Breakers 120V@ 20amps

"Over-Current Relay

Output Terminal Panel

The Output Control Panel (See Figure 16) is located on the right hand side (left from control panel) of the generator. The UNV lugs are protected by a face plate cover that can be secured in the close position by a pad lock. (See Figure 13).

Connecting Load

Loads can be connected to the generator by the UNV Lugs or the convenience receptacles. (See figure 15). Make sure to read the operation manual before attempting to connect a load to the generator.

Circuit Breakers

To protect the generator from an overload, a 3-pole, 250 amp, main circuit breaker is provided to protect the UNV output terminals from overload. In addition two single-pole, 20 amp GFCI circuit breakers are provided to protect the GFCI receptacles from overload.Three 50 amp load circuit breakers have also been provided to protect the load side of the generator from overload. Make sure to switch ALL circuit breakers to the "OFF" position prior to starting the engine.

120 Volt Receptacle

Two GFCI Duplex Nema 5-20R (120V, 20 Amp) receptacle is provided on the output terminal. This receptacle can be used anytime the generator is in operation. The receptacle is controlled by the circuit breaker located on the control panel.

Pressing the reset button resets the receptacle after being tripped. Pressing the "Test Button" (See Figure 14) in the center of this receptacle will check the GFCI function. The receptacle should be tested at least once a month.

Maximum Output

The entire load connected to the UNV Lugs, all four slots in the duplex receptacles, and the must not exceed 88 kW in standby or 80 kW in prime output.

Twist Lock Dual Voltage Receptacles - To use these receptacles, place the voltage selector switch in the single phase 240/120 voltage position and adjust the output voltage to 240 volts with the voltage regulator on the Control Panel. Place the voltmeter change-over switch to the U-W position and the ammeter change-over switch to the U or W to read the output.
