Product Details: The Big Genny’s Power Inverter
• ON/OFF Switch: This switch controls AC output of the inverter.
• Power LED (Green): When this green LED is lit, the inverter is operating normally.
• GFCI LED (Yellow): When the yellow LED is lit, the ground fault circuit has been interrupted. Shut
down the inverter and restart.
• Fault LED (Red): When the red LED is lit, the inverter is shutting down due to overheating,
overload, under voltage, or over voltage.
o Immediately turn off all connected AC appliances if the red FAULT LED is lit. Allow the
inverter to cool before resuming normal operation. Make sure that the ventilation vents
are not blocked.
o If an inverter shutdown was preceded by a buzzing sound, there may be an excessive
load in combination with a low voltage. In this scenario, allow the inverter to cool and then
allow the battery to re-charge before resuming normal operation.
• USB Port: This power port can supply 5 Volts DC at 2.1 Amps for charging or powering tablets,
e-readers, smart phones and other small electronic devices.
• AC Outlets: These two outlets can supply up to 8.3 Amps combined at 115V AC / 60 Hz.
• High Output Terminals: There are three insulated AC terminals on the front panel of the
inverter. These terminals are for connecting 115-volt AC devices that require more than 8.3 Amps
to operate. High Output Terminals can also be used for connection to distributed wiring that has
multiple AC outlets. To access the High Output Terminals, remove two screws on the terminals’
protective cover. Any AC output wiring that is directly connected to the Big Genny’s inverter must
comply with the US National Electrical Code’s (NEC) wiring gauge recommendations.
Note: NEUTRAL and GROUND are bonded inside the inverter to comply with the NEC’s
requirement that any AC power source must have a neutral-to-ground connection.
Facing the front panel, the terminals are:
