recent model generators may be inverter-based, which will not charge as efficiently as traditional non-
inverter-based generators.
6.8.2 AC Output Connections:
The Power Pak comes with two AC Output Sockets [14], allowing it to be used as a stand-alone device by
simply plugging appliances into these sockets. Each socket can operate up to 15 A at 120V AC.
Electrical Panel Connections:
The Power Pak’s power output may also be optionally connected to an electrical panel. This will allow the
Power Pak to provide power to the standard electrical outlets on the walls throughout the building/vehicle,
provided those outlets are connected to the same circuit that the Power Pak is connected to. There are 2
types of electrical panels that the Power Pak can connect to, depending on the model:
The Power Pak MINI provides a single 3 kW 120 V AC output. This is designed for single-input 120 V electrical
panels that are used in RVs, trailers and boats.
The Power Pak COMPACT and GRANDE have 2 separate lines of 120 V AC Output (L1 and L2), which are
designed to connect to electrical panels that have split 120 V buses and a neutral connection. This allows the
Power Pak to enable 240 V output via such electrical panels. NOTE: the total power that the Power Pak can
deliver is equally split between L1 and L2. Therefore, to maximize the your AC power output you must
distribute your load across the 2 lines. For the COMPACT, L1 and L2 each deliver 2 kW to provide the 4 kW
total; for the GRANDE, L1 and L2 each delivery 5 kW to provde the 10 kW total.
WARNING
The output voltage of this unit must never be connected to its input AC terminal. If connecting to an
electrical panel, do not connect the Power Pak’s input and output to the same circuit. Overload or damage
may result.
Always switch the Power Pak on before plugging in any appliances to avoid damaging it.
Please refer to your local laws and regulations and guidelines when connecting to the electrical panel.
STEPS to connect to a single 120V bus electrical panel for MINI.
1. Simply connect the Power Pak’s AC Output (Line and Neutral) to the electrical panel with 2 pieces of
wire, size AWG 8. Also connect the ground.
