TP-5594 5/955-2 Wiring Diagrams
Four-Lead (Single-Phase)
Generator Sets
where Generator Output can be
120/240 or 100/200 Volt, 60 Hz; or
110/220 or 100/200 Volt, 50 Hz
The following information is provided to illustrate the
properconnectionofgenerator sets. Inall cases, follow
the National Electrical Code (NEC).
NOTE
When connecting a generator set to a voltage different
than nameplate voltage, place a notice on the unit
indicating this change. A decal (part no. 246242) is
available to indicate reconnected voltage from
authorized Kohler dealers/distributors.
120/240-Volt (or 110/220-Volt,
100/200-Volt) Configurations—Figure 5-1
Circuit breaker must be a circuit breaker manufacturer
two-pole circuit breaker. Two single-pole circuit
breakers do not conform to NEC requirements when
supplying a 240-volt (or 220-volt) load. Thisis trueeven
if they are mechanically attached together. Leads L1
and L2 are different phases and must never be
connected together.
