Westinghouse EPA (49 state) WH6500E Manual Do Proprietário

  

21

Use the extension cord chart to determine the size 

of the conductor for extension cord applications. 

Determine the distance of the generator to the 

appliance on the top line of the chart. Then select the 

rated amperage of the generator on the left side of the 

chart. Where the two meet is the size of the conductor 

required for the application.
The WCG25 power cord is connected to the generator 

at the 120/240 plug. The opposite end of the power 

cord is a fan tail receptacle with 2 green receptacles 

and 2 red receptacles. Each receptacle is rated at 

120 volts AC. To balance the load on the generator’s 

alternator, use the red and green identifiers on the fan 

tail receptacle. To keep the load balanced, connect 

the loads so that both color receptacles are used. An  

example is one in red and one in green. Do not connect 

2 in red and none in green, or 2 in green and none in 

red. If only one color receptacle is used with multiple 

loads, the alternator may experience an unbalanced 

load, causing undue vibration to generator.

TRANSFER SWITCH 

CONNECTIONS

The Westinghouse generator is wired with the neutral 

bonded to ground. If you are connecting your generator 

to a transfer switch, the electrician must first determine 

what type transfer switch is being used. Transfer 

switches for this equipment are either two-pole or three-

pole types.
A two-pole transfer switch will not switch the neutral 

from the generator to the service panel. That means 

the generator will be grounded to the service panel. To 

use the generator with two-pole transfer switches, the 

electrician will need to change the neutral from bonded 

to floating. 
This is done by removing the jumper wire that connects 

the alternator ground to the alternator neutral. Remove 

the jumper wire and retighten the connections. Keep 

the jumper wire with the owner’s manual in case it is 

needed for future use when not connected to a transfer 

switch.
