Circuit Breakers

To protect the generator from an overload, a 3-pole, 1000 amp, main circuit breaker is provided to protect the UVW 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 UVWO Lugs, all four slots in the duplex receptacles, and the must not exceed 352 kW in standby or 320 in prime output.

Twist Lock Dual Voltage Receptacles

Three CS-6369 auxiliary power receptacles have been provided to supply 208/120V. The voltage regulator knob on the control panel may need to be used to adjust the voltage to 208 or 416V.

Input Receptacles

Two 120 volt, 20 amp input receptacles are provided to supply power to accessories, such as the battery charger (optional) or jacket water heater (optional).
