DCA-15SPX3 — OUTPUTTERMINAL INFORMATION

DCA-15SPX3 FAMILIARIZATION

The Output Terminal panel is provided with the following:

zOne GFCI 120 Volt Receptacle, 20 Amp (single-phase)

z15 kW Output Terminal (UNV)

zGround Terminal

zMain Circuit Breaker 65 amps

zGFCI Circuit Breaker 20 amps

120 Volt Receptacle

One GFCI Duplex Nema 5-20R (120V, 20 Amp) receptacle is provided on the output terminal. This receptacle can be used anytime the generator is in operation. The receptacle is controlled by the circuit breaker located on the control panel.

Pressing the reset button resets the receptacle after being tripped. Pressing the "Test Button" (See Figure 7) in the center of this receptacle will check the GFCI function. The receptacle should be tested at least once a month.

NEMA L5-30R Output Receptacle

The L5-30R receptacle supplies 30 amps at 120 volts. A 30 amp circuit breaker helps protect any load that it is feeding.

NEMA L6-30R Output Receptacle

The L6-30R supplies 30 amps at 240 volts. A 30 amp circuit breaker helps protect any load that it is feeding.

NEMA CS-6369 Output Receptacle

The CS-6369 supplies 50 amps at 120/240 volts. A 50 amp circuit breaker helps protect any load that it is feeding.

Connecting Load

Loads can be connected to the generator by the UNV Lugs or the duplex receptacle (See figure 3). Make sure to read the operation manual before attempting to connect a load to the generator.

Circuit Breakers

The DCA-15SPX3 has a main 65 amp circuit breaker and receptacle circuit breakers that are listed above. The main purpose of the circuit breakers is to protect the load the generator is powering.

Maximum Output

The entire load connected to the UNV Lugs and both slots in the duplex receptacle must not exceed 16.5 kW in standby or 15 kW in prime output.

Maximum Amps

The generator will provide a maximum total amps of 62.5.

Do not exceed the maximum allowed amperage!
