PARALLEL MODE OPERATION
Your generator can operate in a dual-generator parallel mode to use the power of two compatible POWERHOUSE
®
PH2400PRi/E generators to provide a combined maximum output of 4400W (4300W continual output). Both
generators must be connected to the correct, corresponding PH24 Parallel Kit (#67164) in order to use parallel mode.
See Identifying the Correct Parallel Kit.
PH2400PRi/E Parallel Configuration
When two compatible PH2400PRi/E generators are operating in parallel, the AC receptacles on the Parallel Kit Box
supply the combined power output of both generators to your appliance(s).
