AC Parallel Operation
It is possible to connect two PG4500iSR generators to each other, using a parallel cable kit, to increase available power
output
You may connect PARALLEL OPERATION CABLES to two PG4500iSR generators according to the instructions
•
provided with parallel cable kit.
Make sure the Economy switch is in the same position on both generators.
•
All electrical devices should be turned "OFF" and disconnected from generators prior to starting generator engines.
•
Start generator engines. Make sure the green AC Pilot indicator light comes on for each generator.
•
When engines have stabilized, plug in electrical devices to AC receptacle and turn on first load.
•
Allow generator output to stabilize (the first electrical device to an AC receptacle on the parallel cable kit.) before
•
plugging in the next electrical load.
Limit start-up time to 3 seconds for load requiring maximum output. For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated
output.
Note: It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the largest electrical demand output first and the smallest
electrical demand last to help prevent overloading the generator.
Note: Most electrical devices require power beyond its rated wattage to start. This additional power is referred to as surge
watts and motor-based start-up loads usually last between 2-3 seconds. When an electrical device is started, the red
overload indicator may come on. This is normal. If the light stays on disconnect all electrical devices and stop the engine.
Only connect electrical devices to the generator that are in good working order and do not
WARNING!
exceed the rated power supply of the generators in parallel or the desired receptacle.
• A faulty appliance or power cord can create an electric shock. Do not use electrical devices that have a damaged cord
or plug.
• If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stalls, switch off and disconnect appliance
immediately. The appliance may have a fault or its rated load requirements exceeds the capacity of the generator.
• To avoid damage to generator or electrical device, do not connect a load to the generator if its electrical rating exceeds
that of the receptacle.
WARNING!
Never connect generators that are different models.
•
Only connect this generator to another PG4500iSR generator.
•
Only use a PULSAR approved parallel operation cable kit to connect generators.
•
The parallel operation kit must be removed if operating only one generator.
•
Never disconnect or remove and parallel operation kit while generator(s) are still running.
