STANDbY POWER CONNECTIONS

The AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBOTA is suitable for temporary, standby or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.

The AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBOTA can be perma- nently installed as a standby power unit for 240 VAC, 3 wire, single phase, 50 amp service. Connections must be made by a licensed electrician who can determine how the 120/240 VAC power can be adapt- ed to the particular installation and comply with all applicable electrical codes.

Install the double-pole, double-throw switch between the power company meter and the premis- es disconnect. Switch rating must be the same or greater than the customer’s premises disconnect and service over current protection.

Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the capacity of the generator by installing a 50 amp, 240 VAC double pole circuit breaker. Maximum rated load for each leg of the 240 VAC auxiliary is 50 amperes. Loading above the rated output will reduce output voltage below the allowable - 10% of rated voltage which may damage appliances or other motor-driven equipment and may result in overheating of the engine and/or alternator wind- ings.

Install a 50 amp, 120/240 VAC plug (NEMA Type 14-50P) to the double-pole circuit breaker using No. 6, 4 conductor cable of the desired length. (The 50 amp, 120/240 VAC plug is available in the optional K802R plug kit or as part number T12153-9.)

Plug this cable into the 50 Amp, 120/240 Volt recep- tacle on the case front.

WARNING

Only a licensed, certified, trained electrician should install the machine to a premises or resi- dential electrical system. be certain that:

The installation complies with the National Electrical Code and all other applicable electri- cal codes.

The premises is isolated and no feedback into the utility system can occur. Certain laws require the premises to be isolated before the generator is linked to the premises. Check your local

requirements.
