VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
The voltage selector switch is located on a panel attached to the generator behind the door located next to the fuel
tank filler. The selector switch is a three position switch that mechanically changes the connections between the
generator output leads and the connection lugs on the main control panel. Voltage ranges are selected by rotating
the handle on the switch to the desired voltage.
NEVER CHANGE THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUN-
NING! This will cause severe arcing and damage to the switch and generator windings.
The voltage selector switch is equipped with a locking mechanism. Once the proper voltage has been selected, push
the red latch on the inside of the switch handle up and insert a padlock through the handle. By locking the handle in
place, you will prevent unauthorized personnel from changing the switch settings.
Note:
UNITS WITHOUT A CONVENIENCE OUTLET BUCK TRANSFORMER: When the voltage selector switch is
in position for 480/277V 3Ø, voltage at the two GFCI duplex convenience outlets is 139 volts and the voltage at the
three twist-lock outlets is 240/139 volts. When the voltage selector switch is in position for 208/120V 3Ø, voltage at
the three twist-lock outlets and the two GFCI outlets is 208/120 volts.
Convenience outlets should not be used in the 480/277 voltage setting as the voltage will
be higher and equipment damage could result.
