Power Circuits
The EG5000X generator is equipped with two
power circuits. The power available to each
receptacle depends on the position of the
voltage selector switch.
When the voltage selector switch is in the
120V/240V position, the power circuits operate
in series, like two separate generators. Each
circuit supplies up to 18.8 amps maximum to
specific receptacles as shown in the graphic.
Neither power circuit can supply power to the
other power circuit’s receptacles. It is
important, therefore, to balance the load on
both power circuits.
When the voltage selector switch is in the 120V
ONLY position, the power circuits operate in
parallel, sharing the total load connected to
receptacles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and terminal 6A of
receptacle 6. Since both power circuits share
the total load, there is no need to balance the
load.

Control Panel
The control panel has a voltage selector switch
and four receptacles.
Receptacle 1 is a 30A-120V locking receptacle.
Receptacles 2 and 5 are a 20A-120V locking
receptacles.
Receptacle 3 is the top outlet of a 20A-120V
duplex receptacle.
Receptacle 4 is the bottom outlet of a
20A-120V duplex receptacle.
Receptacle 6 is a 30A-120V/240V receptacle
and has two powered terminals, 6A and 6B.
When the voltage selector switch is in the
120V/240V position, receptacle 6 supplies up
to 18.8 amps at 240 volts from the combination
of power circuits A and B.
When the voltage selector switch is in the 120V only position, terminal 6A supplies up to 30 amps at
120 volts from power circuits A and B; terminal 6B has no power.

Disconnect or turn off all appliances or tools
connected to the generator before changing the
voltage selector switch position. The generator may
be damaged if the switch position is changed with
loads connected and operating.
120V ONLY Position
When the voltage selector switch is in the 120V
ONLY position, you do not need to spread the load
over the receptacles. You must, however, make sure
the load on any receptacle does not exceed its
available power shown in the table and the total load
does not exceed 37.5 amps.

120V/240V Position
When the voltage selector switch is in the
120V/240V position, you must balance the load on
both power circuits. Divide the load between the two
sets of receptacles shown in the table. Do not
exceed the current rating of any receptacle.
Balancing is necessary because each set of
receptacles is powered by only one power circuit that
can produce a maximum of 18.8 amps.
Overloading
The rated power of this generator is 4.5 kVA; maximum power is 5.0 kVA. Never exceed the maximum
power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than
30 minutes.
