Figure 7- grounding the generator
Proper grounding of the generator will help prevent
electrical shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the
generator or in connected devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded
devices.
2.3.2 CONNECTING ELCTRICAL LOADS
Do not connect 240 volt loads to 120 volt receptacles. Do not
connect 3-phase loads to the generator. Do not connect 50 Hz
loads to the generator.
*let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
*plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 volt AC. Single phase,
60 Hz electrical loads.
*add up the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be connected at
one time. This total should not be greater than (a) the rated
wattage/amperage capacity of the generator or (b) circuit
breaker rating of the receptacle supplying the power. See “don’t
overload the generator”.
2.4 DON’T OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity
can result in damage to the generator and to connected electrical
devices. Observe the following to prevent overloading the unit:
*Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be connected
at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the
generator’s wattage capacity.
*The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs. The
rated wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be
