Wattage Requirements
Iftheratedcapacityofthegeneratorsetisexceeded,the
circuit breaker located on the controller trips to protect
the generator against damage. A short circuit in the AC
circuitofthecraftorsimultaneousoperation of toomany
on-board appliances could cause the generator set’s
controller circuit breaker to trip. If the circuit breaker
trips,thesetmaycontinuetorun, buttherewillbe no AC
output to the protected circuit.
Before resetting the circuit breaker, turn off some of the
appliances and lights inside the craft to bring the load
down within the rated limits of the set. If the circuit
breaker trips after the load reduction, there is a short
circuit. Turn off the set and have a qualified electrician
locate and correct the cause of the short circuit.
