BSPP Generator
RECEPTACLES
The generator will be equipped with one or more of the
following receptacles:
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14–30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 5).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you
plan to run a 120 Volt load.
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 3,600 watts of power at
30 Amps for 120 Volts; 7,200 watts of power (7.2 kW) at
30 Amps for 240 Volts.The outlet is protected against
overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker and/or a 2 pole
GFCI circuit breaker.
120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 20 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 6).You can use the same 4-wire cord if you
plan to run a 120 Volt load.
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 2,400 watts of power at
20 Amps for 120 Volts; 4,800 watts of power (4.8 kW) at
20 Amps for 240 Volts.The outlet is protected against
overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker and/or a 2 pole
GFCI circuit breaker.
