Four-Lead Reconnectable
(Single-Phase) Generator Sets
Where Generator Output Can Be
Reconnected For 120/240 volt,
60 Hz; or 110/220 volt, 50 Hz
To illustratethe proper reconnectionof 4-leadgenerator
sets, the following information is provided. In all cases,
the National Electrical Code (NEC) should be followed.
NOTE
When a generator set is reconnected to a voltage
different than nameplate voltage, notice should be
placed on the unit indicating this change. A decal (part
no. 246242) is available for this purpose from an
authorized Kohler dealer/distributor.

two-pole circuit breaker. Two single-pole circuit
breakers do not conform to NEC requirements when
supplyinga 240-Volt(or220-Volt) load. Thisistrueeven
if they are mechanically attached together. Leads L1
and L2 are different phases and must never be
connected together.
