Baldor PG 6000 manual Single Phase Power Receptacle Description, Receptacle Connections

Electrical Connections All load connections are made at the panel using electrical cords with the proper mating plug for the receptacle being used. More than one receptacle can be used as long as the total load does not exceed the continuous rating of the generator.

WARNING: Never connect this generator to any buildings electrical system unless a licensed electrician has installed an approved transfer switch. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that connection of a generator to any electrical circuit normally powered by means of an electric utility must be connected by means of approved transfer switch equipment so as to isolate the electrical circuit from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electrical circuits by such means may result in injury or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy onto the utility lines.

Use correct size insulated wire to connect the generator to the load. The gauge of the wire will depend on the distance to the load, the permissible voltage drop at the load, and the current required by the load. If you are not sure of the gauge wire needed for your application, consult a competent electrician. Using wire that is too small can result in fire hazard. Also, be sure the wire has the appropriate ratings for insulation and environment conditions.

The correct mating connector must be used to fit the connectors provided on the operator panel of your generator. Table 3-1describes the connector types provided (receptacles) and the load characteristics to help you choose the correct size wire. Figure 3-2shows the receptacles.
