Chicago Electric 39984 Electrical Loads And Guidelines, Generator Designed Performance Guidelines

ELECTRICAL LOADS AND GUIDELINES

Your generator set is designed to power electrical apparatuses within the electrical power output limitations of the generator. Please note that any generator overload can cause serious problems/damage to your generator. Additionally, apparatuses with electrical motors can require higher wattage requirements at start-up than when running. Some electric motors require as much as 2.5 times the rated wattage at start-up. Although the start-up wattage requirements for electric motors lasts only a few seconds, great care must be taken in connecting loads to your generator so as not to overload the generator. Refer to the label on each electrical apparatus to determine the wattage requirements of that apparatus. THE TOTAL

WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS OF ALL POWERED APPARATUSES (INCLUDING START-UP LOADS) MUST NEVER EXCEED THE CONTINUOUS RATING OF YOUR GENERATOR, CORRECTED TO THE ACTUAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AT THE OPERATING SITE.

As a reference only, Table 1 below shows some general wattage requirements for several common electrical devices. This chart is intended as a guide only. The actual total wattage should be determined by referring to the actual labels on each of the powered electrical devices.

GENERATOR DESIGNED

PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES

This electrical generator is designed to produce electrical energy for the purpose of powering lights, power tools, appliances and motor loads within the intended design constraints of the generator. The generator is designed to produce single-phase electrical power at 120 or 120/ 240 VAC. This generator is not intended for installation in RV or motorhome applications. The Performance Specifications for your generator are listed in Table 2 Performance Specifications.

ENGINE LIMITATIONS ON GENERATOR

PERFORMANCE

Generator ratings assume 60°F (20C) and Sea Level. Operation of your generator at temperatures above 60°F (20C) or above Sea Level will result in lower electrical output. Electrical output must be derated 2% for each 9°F above 60°F and 3 ½ % for each 1000 feet above mean sea level.
