OUTPUT TERMINAL PANEL FAMILIARIZATION

Connecting Loads

Loads can be connected to the generator by the Output Terminal Lugs or the convenience receptacles (Figure 10). Make sure to read the operation manual before attempting to connect a load to the generator.

To protect the output terminals from overload, a 3-pole, 600A main circuit breaker is provided. Make sure to switch ALL circuit breakers to the OFF position prior to starting the engine.

Over Current Relay

An over current relay (Figure 11) is connected to the main circuit breaker. In the event of an overload, both the circuit breaker and the over current relay may trip. If the circuit breaker can not be reset, the reset button on the over current relay must be pressed. The over current relay is located in the control box.

NOTICE

Remember the overcurrent relay monitors the current flowing from the U,V, and W Output Terminal Lugs to the load.

In the event of a short circuit or over current condition, it will automatically trip the 600 amp main breaker.

To restore power to the Output Terminal Panel, press the reset button on the overcurrent relay and place the main circuit breaker in the closed position (ON).
