Electric Motor Loads; Extension Cord - Husky HU5000 Storm Serie Manual Del Operador

ELECTRIC MOTOR LOADS

It is characteristic of common electric motors in normal operation to draw up to six times their running current while start-
ing. This table may be used to estimate the watts required to start "Code G" electric motors; however, if an electric motor
fails to start or reach running speed, turn off the appliance or tool immediately to avoid equipment damage. Always check
the requirements of the tool or appliance being used compared to the rated output of the generator.

EXTENSION CORD

See Figure 1.
The generator is supplied with a 25 ft. 12 GA SJTW 4- conductor
105ºC extension cord. This cord is equipped with an L14-
20P twist-lock plug on one end which plugs directly into the
corresponding twist-lock receptacle on the control panel of
the generator. The opposite end has four 5-20R receptacles
that can be used to power individual loads. NOTE: For 120
volt use only. Make sure the loads do not exceed the 20
amp rating of the extension cord. Circuit breaker protection
is provided for on the control panel of the generator.
The receptacles on the extension cord are color coded with
blue and red dots. When several loads are powered at the
same time, it is best to keep equal loads supplied to each
separately colored receptacle if possible. Each receptacle of
the connector is capable of sustaining 20 amps of current
provided the generator is capable of supplying 4800 watts of
power. Check nameplate ratings for total wattage capability
of the generator.

CAUTION
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all
electronic equipment should be checked prior to plugging
them into this generator. Damage may result if the equipment
is not designed to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation,
and +/- 3 hz frequency variation from the generator name
plate ratings. To avoid damage, always have an additional
load plugged into the generator if solid state equipment
(such as a television set) is used. A power line conditioner
is recommended for some solid state applications.
