Abstract
In an apparatus for connecting two generators to an electrical load, there are provided a first group of terminals that are adapted to be connected to a single remote controller provided independently and separately from the apparatus and provided with a start switch and a stop switch to be manipulated by an operator, a second group of terminals that are adapted to be connected to each remote control terminal of the generators, and an electronic control unit that is connected to the first and second group of terminals and starts/stops each of the generators by outputting signals to each of the generators through the second group of terminals in accordance with a start instruction signal and a stop instruction signal produced in response to the operator's manipulation of the start switch and stop switch and inputted through the first group of terminals, thereby enabling to start and stop generators to be run in parallel by using a single remote controller.
