DCA-25SSAI — OUTPUTTERMINAL PANEL

Output Terminal Panel

The output control panel is located on the rear (control panel) end of the generator. The UVW lugs are protected by a face plate cover that can be secured in the close position by a pad lock.

120 Volt Receptacle

One GFCI Duplex NEMA 5-20R (120V, 20 Amp) receptacle is located 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.

The reset button will reset the receptacle after being tripped. Pressing the "Test Button" (See Figure 8) in the center of this receptacle will check the GFCI function. The receptacle should be tested at least once a month.

Connecting Load

Loads can be connected to the generator by the UVW Lugs or the duplex receptacle. (See Figure 9). Make sure to read the operation manual before attempting to connect a load to the generator.

Figure 9. Connecting Loads

Circuit Breakers

To protect the generator from an overload, a 3-pole, 60 amp, main circuit breaker is provided to protect the UVWO output terminals from overload. In addition two single-pole, 20 amp GFCI circuit breakers are provided to protect the GFCI receptacles from overload. Three 50 amp load circuit breakers have also been provided to protect the load side of the generator from overload. Make sure to switch ALL circuit breakers to the "OFF" position prior to starting the engine.

Maximum Output

 

The entire load connected to the UVW l ugs and all four slots in

 

the duplex receptacle must not exceed 22 kW in standby or 20

 

kW in prime output.

 

120V Receptacles - These receptacles can be used

 

anytime the generator is in operation. They are controlled

 

by the circuit breakers above them.

 

Twist Lock Dual Voltage Receptacles - To use these

 

receptacles, place the voltage selector switch in the single

 

phase 240/120 voltage position and adjust the output

 

voltage to 240 volts with the voltage regulator on the

 

control panel (see Figure 6, page 24). Place the voltmeter

 

change-over switch to the U-W position and the ammeter

 

change-over switch to the U or W to read the output.
