Both duplex receptacles (Figure 5) are protected against overload by a double pole rocker switch circuit breaker.

Figure 5 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp Duplex Receptacle

Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single-phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW) at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater). Inspect cord sets before each use.

Generator Adapter Cord Set

The generator comes with a 25' generator adapter cord set designed to provide two sets of 120 Volt, 20 Amp outlets from one 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle (Figure 6).

Figure 6 — Generator Adapter Cord Set

The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps. The maximum total load on both black wire outlets or white stripe wire outlets is 20 Amps.
