*Nominal wattage is at

1.0

Power Factor. All. units are rated at

115

volts, single

phase,

60

cycles per second. The voltage varies with the speed at which the gener-

ator

is

driven and on the load being used.

The generators only for above units are referred to as Model

700-0, 1800-0,

and

3030-0

respectively. In the instructions all Model

1800's

are referred to as

1000

are for tractor belt drive-generator specifications are

same as for

INTRODUCTION

Each generator is carefully inspected at
the factory and "run-in" until the brushes
are satisfactorily seated. The unit is then
carefully checked for correct output under
average operating conditions. NO GENER­ATOR IS SHIPPED UNLESS IT PRO­DUCES ITS FULL RA'IYCD CAPACITY,
NOR UNTIL IT HAS PASSED RIGID IN­SPECTION TESTS. If uwon installation a
new generator does noi work properly,
check all of the electrical connections and
the generator speed before concluding that
the generator is not performing satisfact­orily.

when unpacking the machine, be sure to
inspect it carefully to see that no damages
occilrred in transit. If damages are noted,
notify the transportation company im­mediately and have them write the
nature of the damages on the freight

bill, so that a claim can be filed if necessary.

Each

AC generator is guaranteed to be
free from defects in workmanship and
material arising in connection with normal
usage for a period of one year, provided
that the owner returns his guarantee reg­istration card within

10 days after pur­chasing the unit. Fill in the information
requested on the registration- card and
return it,

so

the guarantee can be issued

to

you.

etc. directly into the outlet terminals. The
outlet box is equipped with lock-type re­ceptacles which prevent the plugs from
working loose.

To operate permanently

connecte~
motors, etc. on a standby basis, provision
must be made to

prevent the generated
current from "feeding back" into the power
line where it could be a hazard to linemen
and other users.

ALL WIRING

IS

TO BE DONE IN CON-

FORMANCE

WITH

-NATIONAL

ELEC-

TRICAL CODE AND WITH STATE AND
LOCAL REGULATIONS.

The conductor from the transfer switch

to the generator can be made of No.

type

cord for distance up to 25 feet. Always
use the twist-lock plug for making these
connections permanently.

When starting the generator, turn off the
load or reduce it. If too many light bulbs
are left on, the generator may fail to build
up voltage.

When a three pole double-throw switch
is connected to a

115-230 volt system as

shown in Figure

1,

the current from the
generator is available on both main
branches. Any

220 volt appliances connect-

ed to the circuit will remain inoperative.

If the owner wants to use only part of the
electrical circuits, a two-pole, double throw
switch can be connected in one or more
of the branch circuits as shown in Figure 2.
So

many different methods of wiring are

encountered in the field that no specific

transfer switch recommendation can be
given. However, an electrician who thor-

when using the unit as a portable gen- oughly understands the problem should be

erator, merely plug the power tools, lights, obtained to make the installation.
