NOTE:
Refer to Section 1.4, “Generator AC Connection System,”. Individual installations will differ. If an overload occurs, the dual breakers will open the ungrounded (i.e., hot) stator leads (11 and 44 in Figure 1.1). When the generator has been con- nected for 120 volts only (Figure 2.16, Page 31), the line breakers will operate independently on the ungrounded (i.e., hot) stator leads (11 and 33 in Figure 2.16, Page 31).
