OPERATION

Parallel Generator Operation

Parallel operation features, kits sold separately.

Two POLARIS parallel ready generators can be connected together to increase the total power available to a load. The system seamlessly matches frequency and automatically evenly distributes the load to each generator so one is not overloaded.

Operating the generators in parallel has 0.9 power de-rate factor. For example, connecting a 1kw and 2kw together in parallel operation, the continuous rated combined output will equal 0.9x (900w + 1600w) = 2250W.

Any combination of two POLARIS parallel ready generators can be connected such as a P2000i and a P1000i, two P2000i models, etc. There are two different parallel connection kits. One kit has a 30A receptacle ideal for connecting two P2000i models or a P2000i and a P1000i.

Parallel operation procedure

1.Turn off both generators and disconnect all the electrical devices from the generators

2.Prepare two parallel ready generators for operation. Place them on a hard and level surface.

3.	Connect the parallel kit to each	A
	generator by inserting one pair of
	leads from the parallel box to the
	parallel receptacles (A) on the
	panel
4.	Ground the generators (B).	B

5.Start both generators and confirm that both green "RUN" lights are illuminated. The Smart throttle system may be used as long as the Smart throttle setting of both generators is the same.

6.Securely plug the electrical appliance plug into parallel cable receptacle and switch on the electrical appliance power supply.
