2.4 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS
2.4.1 120 VAC, 20 AMP, GFCI DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each socket to power 120 Volt
AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a combined
2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only high quality,
well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for 125 Volts at 20
Amps (or greater).
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than
15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of
wires.
2.4.2 120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/
unlock). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug
and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volts
AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 6).
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps
or 240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring 6,500 to 8000
watts of power, depending on the model. The outlet is protected by
a 30 Amp circuit breaker.

2.4.3 120 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 3-wire
cord set rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or greater) to the plug
(Figure 7).
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps.
The outlet is protected by a 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.

2.4.4 120/240 VAC, 50 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA 14-50 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4-wire
cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 50 Amps to the plug (Figure 8).
Use this receptacle to operate 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz electrical
loads requiring up to 10,000 watts (10.0 kW) of power at 41.6
Amps for 240 volts or two independent 120 Volt loads. This
receptacle is protected by a 42 Amp 2-pole circuit breaker.
