C Neutral Bonding
On Single Phase BetaSet and BetaGen the neutral
terminal is bonded to the earth (ground) bolt in
the terminal box. Please refer to image 8. It is the
responsibility of the electrician to determine the
suitability of this arrangement for the installation.
Having the neutral earthed makes the output similar
to domestic UK single phase mains supply. On three
phase generators the generating set leaves our factory
without neutral grounding.
D Drives - Power Take Off Areas
i) Forward End Drive
Generating sets can be supplied with unguarded belt
drives to power the fresh water pump and battery
charging alternator. The installer must ensure that it is
not possible for injury to occur by allowing access to
this area of the engine. The three pulleys run at high
speed and can cause injury if personnel or clothing
come in contact with the belts or pulleys, when the
engine is running. If not originally purchased with
the generating set, forward end alternator guards
are available as an optional extra should they be
additionally required.
8 Neutral Bonding Terminal
A Keep the generating set, and surrounding area
clean, including the area immediately below the
engine.
B AC Earthing
The generating set body must be bonded to earth
(grounded). It is the responsibility of the installer to
ensure that proper earthing is provided to comply with
all regulations and legal requirements. The generating
set ‘Earthing Stud’ is located as depicted in images
5, 6 & 7 must be bonded to the vessels hull using
suitably rated earthing cable.
