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 10).
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 3,600 watts (3.6 kW) of power
at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by a 30 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker.
12 Volt DC, 10 Amp Receptacle
This connector (identified by the legend “12-VOLT D.C.”)
supplies 12 Volts DC at 10 Amps through battery charging
cables for recharging 12 Volt batteries (Figure 11). See
“Charging a Battery” on page 7.
GROUND FAULT
PROTECTION
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). This device meets applicable federal,
state and local codes.
The GFCI protects against electrical shock that may be
caused if your body becomes a path which electricity
travels to reach ground. This could happen if you touch a
“Live” appliance or wire, or are touching plumbing or other
materials that connect to the ground.
When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but
the GFCI should cut current off quickly enough so that a
person in normal health should not suffer any serious
electrical injury.
WARNING! The GFCI will not protect you
against the following situations: (1) Line-to-line
shocks; (2) Current overloads or line-to-line short
circuits. The fuse or circuit breaker at the
distribution panel must provide such protection.
Testing the GFCI
Test your GFCI outlet every month, as follows:
• Push the black “Test” button. The red “Reset” button
should pop out, which should allow no power to reach
the outlet. Use a test lamp in each outlet to test this.
CAUTION! If the “Reset” button does not pop
out or the test lamp remains lit when the “Reset”
button is popped out. Do Not use any outlets on
the circuit. Call a qualified electrician.
• If the GFCI tests good, restore power by pressing the
“Reset” button firmly until it is fully in place and locks
in that position. If the GFCI outlet does not reset
properly, Do Not use the outlet — call a qualified
electrician.
• If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test the
outlet. If the reset button does not pop out when
the test button is pressed, Do Not use the outlet.
Call a qualified electrician.
