General Inspection Prior to Operation
The DCA-180SSK generator has been thoroughly inspected
and accepted prior to shipment from the factory. However,
be sure to check for damaged parts or components, or loose
nuts and bolts, which could have occurred in transit.
Extension Cable
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or
loads at some distance from the generator, extension
cords are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow
for distance in length and amperage so that the voltage
drop between the generator and point of use (load) is held
to a minimum. Use the Cable Selection Guide (Table 10)
as a guide for selecting proper cable size.
Circuit Breakers
To protect the generator from an overload,
a 3-pole, 500 amp,
main circuit breaker is provided to protect the UVW output
terminals from overload. In addition two single-pole, 20 amp
GFCI circuit breakers are provided to protect the GFCI
receptacles from overload. Three 50 amp
load circuit breakers
have also been provided to protect the load side of the
generator from overload. Make sure to switch
ALL circuit
breakers to the "OFF" position prior to starting the engine.
