GA-2.5H — GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
Before connecting this generators to any building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch.
Serious injury or death may result without this transfer switch.
GA-2.5H FAMILIARIZATION
Generator
The Multiquip
These generators are mounted on rubber vibration isolators that have a steel base backplate which is attached to the protective steel pipe carrying frame.The protective carrying frame is made of steel tubing and fully wraps around the generators to protect against damage. See Figures 2A and 2B for the basic controls and indicators for the
This portable generator is supplied with a electrical control box. To reduce vibration caused by the engine, the control box is also placed on rubber isolators.
Control Box
The control box is provided with the following:
■120V
■120V GFCI single phase duplex output receptacle
■20 amp main circuit breaker
■AC Voltmeter
■Ground Terminal (S/N 5496762 and below)
Excitation System

This voltage
zExcitation (diode 1)
zBattery (diode 2)
zSlow Down (diode 3)
The AC voltage will pass through the excitation diode that converts the voltage to DC power.
This DC power is then sent to the excitation windings housed within the main windings commonly called the "stator".
This voltage is then transferred into the rotor through induction.The rotor contains two diodes within it which rectify the DC voltage and send it out through the main windings, as AC voltage.
Alternator
The alternator, a brushless
Engine
This generator is powered by a 5.5 HP,
