OPERATION
CABLE SIZE:
When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to
the generator, a certain amount of voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension
cord which reduces the effective voltage available for the appliance or tool.
The chart below has been prepared to illustrate the approximate voltage loss
when an extension cord of 300 feet (approx. 100 meters) is used to connect
an appliance or tool to the generator.
Equipment damage can result from low voltage. Therefore, to prevent excessive
voltage drop between the generator and the equipment, the cable should be
of adequate gauge for the length used. The cable selection chart gives the
maximum cable lengths for various gauges of wire which can adequately carry
the loads shown.

PARALLEL CONNECTION:
First, connect the 2 inverters with 2 parallel cables as per the drawing below.
Then start the inverters one at a time. At this time, the total rated power will be
3000W. The parallel cables must be connected to parallel outlet with the same
color for each inverter.
Note: Ensure the cables are connected to the inverters correctly. If they are
connected incorrectly, the inverters will not output any power and will need
to be switched off and then on again after they are correctly connected. DO
NOT connect or disconnect the parallel cables while the engine is running.
