A connection apparatus includes a fixed board assembly and a selector board assembly. The fixed board assembly including a fixed board including a center axis and a plurality of contact pairs attached to the fixed board, each of a generator winding in electrical continuity with at least one of the plurality of contact pairs. The selector board assembly is rotatably mounted on the fixed board assembly and includes a selector board and a plurality of jumpers attached to the selector board. The plurality of jumpers are shaped and arranged on the selector board to electrically bridge at least one of the contact pairs to provide a first voltage output in a first configuration and a second voltage output in a second configuration. The second configuration is produced by rotating the selector board assembly relative to the fixed board assembly about the center axis from the first configuration.

Electrical generator connection apparatus

An electric generator set fuel control system is disclosed. The fuel control system includes an electric generator, a prime mover mechanically coupled to the generator, a first fuel tank, a fuel level sensor configured to generate a fuel level signal indicative of a fuel level in the first fuel tank, a fuel loading operator input device configured to generate a fuel loading signal, a fueling mode operator input device configured to generate a fueling mode signal, and a control module. The first fuel tank is configured to supply fuel to the prime mover, and selectively receive or supply fuel to a second fuel tank through a fuel pump. The control module is configured to generate a fuel transfer signal as a function of the fuel loading signal, the fueling mode signal, and the fuel level signal.
