Checking the electrical safety
5 Checking the electrical safety
Checking of electrical safety requires different measures to be taken which
may only be undertaken by respectively authorised personnel. In doing so
the respective, pertinent VDE provisions, EN and DIN standards, in their re-
spectively valid versions, must be observed.
One must, in particular, not use defective or damaged consumers, cable connec-
tions and plug connectors (power consuming equipment). There must be check-
ing for an orderly condition at regular intervals (see Tab. 5-1 )
Your generator is designed for use with one (1) individual electrical power con-
suming equipment. Hereby the protective conductor system of the attached pow-
er consuming equipment takes over the function of the potential equalization
device. The terminal (Fig. 6-4 -
) is connected with this Potential equalization
device connected. It is not necessary to earth the generator.
In addition to the details given above, the electrical safety of the generator is to
be checked by a qualified electrician at regular intervals. The periods between
testing must be established in such a way that the generator and all work equip-
ment to be connected can, according to the general status of knowledge, opera-
tional experiences or on the basis of specific evidence, be safe to use in the
period between the two inspections. (Examples in TRBS 1201, implementation
instructions re §5 of BGV/GUV-V A3, BGI 594, BGI 608, Annex 2, recommenda-
tion of BGI/GUV-I 5090 “Repeated testing of mobile electrical equipment“).
NOTICE!
The operator is responsible for defining and adhering to the test intervals
. Above all one must ensure observance of the respectively valid national
regulations.
This responsibility also extends to any additional equipment installed in
conjunction with the device.
We recommend the following checks and deadlines as general guideline values:
