Voltage Connections
Three Phase
The connections for both high and low voltage are given
in the following diagrams.
The terminals must be connected securely and insulated
with a good quality electrical tape.
Single Phase Current From A Three-Phase Generator
Three phase and single phase current can be taken
simultaneously from a generator connected for three-
phase service. Connecting the load to any two of the
three phase leads will provide single-phase voltage at
the same voltage as three-phase power. Connecting the
load to any phase lead and to neutral will produce
voltage at 58% of the three-phase voltage. DO NOT
exceed the nameplate current rating for any one phase.
Single-phase power taken from a three-phase source
can be a problem unless the single-phase loading is
equally distributed.
