4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 8).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 5,550 watts of power
(5.55 kW) at 23.1 Amps for 120 Volts or 240 Volts.The

Each duplex receptacle (Figure 9) is protected against
overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW)
at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for
