RECEPTACLES
120 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacles
Each of these outlets is protected against overload by
15 Amp push-to-reset type circuit breakers (Figure 9).
Use each outlet to operate 120 Volt, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring 1,800 (1.8 kW) watts at 15 Amps of current.
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 at 20 Amps (or greater)
(Figure 10).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 2,000 watts of power at
16.7 Amps for 120 Volts; 4,000 watts of power (4.0 kW) at
16.7 Amps for 240 Volts.The outlet is protected by a
20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.

• NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage
than generator or receptacle can supply.
• DO NOT overload the generator. See “Don’t Overload
Generator”.
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater
than generator output capacity.
