Generac Portable Products 5500EXL Extended Life Generator

CORD SETS/RECEPTACLES

This generator is equipped with the following

receptacles:

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp Receptacles

Each socket (Figure 10) is protected against overload

by a 20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each

receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz

electrical loads requiring up to 2400 watts (2.4 kW) at

20 Amps of current.

Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt AC loads at

20 Amps (or greater).

120 Volt AC, 30 Amp Locking

Receptacle

Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect

a 3-wire cord set rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps to

the plug (Figure 11).

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.

120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp Locking

Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect

a 4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at

30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 12). You can use the

same 4-wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.

This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single

phase loads requiring up to 3,600 watts of power

(3.6 kW) at 30 Amps for 120 Volts OR 5,500 watts of

power (5.5 kW) at 22.9 Amps for 240 Volts. The outlet

is protected by a 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.

CAUTION! Although this outlet states it has a

240 Volt 30 Amp rating (up to 7,200 watts), the

generator is only rated for 5,500 watts.

Powering loads that exceed the wattage/

amperage capacity of the generator can

damage it or cause serious injuries.

240 Volt loads powered through this outlet

should not exceed 22.9 Amps of current draw.
