AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
• Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or power cord
can create a potential for electrical shock.
• If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops
suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine
whether the problem is the appliance or the rated load capacity of the
generator has been exceeded.
Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for startup.
Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed the
maximum power rating of the generator.
Maximum power is:
EM5000SX: 5.0 kVA
EM6500SX: 6.5 kVA
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power is:
EM5000SX: 4.5 kVA
EM6500SX: 5.5 kVA
In either case, the total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected
must be considered. Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list rating
information near the model number or serial number.
Substantial overloading will open the AC circuit breaker. Slightly overloading the
generator may not switch the AC circuit breaker OFF, but will shorten the service life
of the generator.
