AC Parallel Operation Applications
Both types of LC2000i generators (Standard and Companion )can be
connected to each other to increase the available power using a parallel cable
kit .
Follow the instructions included with the parallel operation cable kit.
Before connection an appliance or power cord to the generator;
TIP
z Make sure that it is in good working order. A faulty appliance or power cord
can create a potential for electrical shock.
z If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops
suddenly, turn if off immediately. Disconnect the appliance and determine
whether the problem is the appliance, and determine whether the problem is
the appliance or the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
z Make sure that the combined electrical rating of the tools or appliance do
not exceed that of the generator. Never exceed the maximum may be used for
no more than 30 minutes.Never connect different generator models
.
z For parallel operation, use only a LONCIN approved parallel operation
cable kit then connecting one LC2000i Companion to either an LC2000i or
another LC2000i Companion generator.
z Never connect or remove the parallel operationcable when the generator is
running.
z For single generator operation, the parallel operation cable must be
removed.
Substantial overloading that continuously lights theoverload indicator (red)
may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily light the
overload indicator (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
Maximum power in parallel operation is; 4.0kVA .
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power in parallel operation is: 3.2kVA .
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.
