AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES

The auxiliary power of the BIG RED™ 600 consists of Single Phase 60Hz Power. Out put Voltage is within +/- 10% at loads up to rated capacity.

One 120VAC NEMA (5-20R) 20 amp duplex recepta- cle is protected by a 20 amp circuit breaker that pro- vides 2400 watts Peak / 2400 watts Continuous power. Maximum current is 20 amps total.

One 120VAC European (IEC-309) 16 amp receptacle is protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker that provides 1800 watts Peak / 1800 watts Continuous power. Maximum current is 15 amps.

One 240VAC European (IEC-309) 16 amp receptacle is protected by a 15 amp 2-pole circuit breaker that provides 3600 watts Peak / 3600 watts Continuous power. The 2-pole circuit breaker disconnects both hot leads at the same time. Maximum current is 15 amps.

120 V RECEPTACLES

A GFCI module protects, the two 120V Auxiliary Power receptacles. A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) electrical receptacle is a device to protect against electric shock should a piece of defective equipment connected to it develop a ground fault. If this situation should occur, the GFCI module will trip, removing voltage from the output of the receptacle. If a GFCI module is tripped see the MAINTENANCE section for detailed information on testing and reset- ting it. A GFCI module should be properly tested at least once every month.

The 120 V auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved double insulated tools with two wire plugs. The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle.

RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE READY

The BIG RED™ 600 is configured to allow for the addition of a Residual Current Device (RCD) to pro- tect the 240V Single Phase Receptacle. The auxiliary power area on the front panel of the BIG RED™ 600 has a hole sized and shaped to accept a typical 2-pole (RCD) along with a protective rubber boot. A cover plate with a label “RCD READY” covers the hole and secures a mounting bracket on the backside of the panel.

Note: The (RCD) should be rated for at least 15 amps.

There are many suppliers of RCD’s. One example is Allen Bradley, part number 1492-RCD2A40.

The protective boot can be obtained from: APM-Hexseal, part number HE-1035

See Section F Diagrams of this Operator’s Manual for instructions on installing an RCD and protective rub- ber boot.

STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS

The BIG RED™ 600 is suitable for temporary, standby or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.

The BIG RED™ 600 can be permanently installed as a standby power unit for 240 VAC(60Hz). 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.

Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the capacity of the BIG RED™ 600

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 electrical codes.

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

Check your state and local requirements.
