Vac, 30 Amp Receptacle - Generac GP Serie Manuel D'entretien

Operation
2.3.2 120 VAC, 20 AMP, GFCI RECEPTACLE
This unit is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). This
device meets applicable federal, state and local codes (Figure 10).
A GFCI receptacle is different from conventional receptacles. In the event
of a ground fault, a GFCI will trip and quickly stop the flow of electricity to
prevent serious injury.
Definition: Instead of following its normal safe path, electricity passes
through a persons body to reach the ground. For example, a defective
appliance can cause a ground fault.
A GFCI receptacle does NOT protect against circuit overloads, short
circuits, or shocks. For example, electric shock can still occur if a person
touches charged electrical wires while standing on a non-conducting
surface, such as a wood floor.

Testing the GFCI: Test the GFCI outlet every month as follows:
1. Plug a test lamp into the receptacle.
2. Start the generator, the test lamp should be on.
3. Press the "Test" button located on the front of the receptacle to trip
the device.
4. This should stop the flow of electricity making the lamp shut off. The
yellow trip indicator should now be on.
5. To restore the flow of electricity, press the "Reset" button on the front
of the receptacle. If the GFCI does not perform in this manner, do not
use the receptacle. Contact a local service dealer.
6. This outlet is protected against overload by a 20A push-to-reset
circuit breaker. Use the outlet to power 120V AC, single-phase, 60
Hz, electrical loads requiring up to a combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW)
or 20 amps of current.

2.3.3 120 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE

Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 3-wire cord set
rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or greater) to the plug (Figure 11).
Figure 11 - 120 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads
requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is
protected by a 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.
2.3.4 120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a suitable 4-wire
grounded cord set to the plug and to the desired load. The cord set should
be rated for 250 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 12).
Figure 12 - 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads
requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or 240 Volt AC,
60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200 watts (7.2 kW) of power
at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by two 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit
breakers.
2.3.5 12 VOLT DC, 10 AMP RECEPTACLE
This receptacle permits recharging a 12-Volt automotive or utility style
storage battery with the battery charge cables provided (Figure 13).
This receptacle can not recharge 6-Volt batteries and can not be used to
crank an engine having a discharged battery. See the section "Charging a
Battery" before attempting to recharge a battery.
