Notes: 1. Each receptacle of the duplex can provide 15A/1800W. Do not parallel the two 120V duplex receptacles.
2.Do not parallel the two 120V circuits.
3.Do not parallel the two duplex outlets.
For example, for the 495 218 Generator Power Panel,
Calculating total power provided by generator. (See Section 11 − Generator Power Guidelines)
Each receptacle can provide the watts or amps as shown above. However, the total power can not exceed 5500W.
The rating plate on electrical apparatus will contain the watts consumed or the rated input amps. Watts may be calculated by multiplying the rated voltage by the rated input amps.
watts = volts x amps
