Electrical connection
WARNING
Generators deliver electrical current when used.
Comply with current legislation and the installation and operating
instructions in this manual.
Never connect the generator directly to other power sources.
For all connections, use a flexible, resistant, rubber-sheathed cable conforming to
IEC 60245-4 or equivalent cables and ensure that they are kept in perfect
condition.
Connect Class 1 equipment to the generator using a PE cable (green/yellow); this
protective conductor is not required for Class 2 equipment.
Use only one Class 1 electrical device per electrical outlet.
Depending on the conditions of use (A, B or C), the following protective
measures must also be observed:
A - If the generator is not equipped with an integrated differential protection
device (standard version with neutral isolated from the grounding terminal):
-
Use a device calibrated to 30 mA from each electrical outlet of the generator
(place each device within 1 m of the generator, protecting it from the weather).
-
In the case of occasional use of one or more portable devices, grounding of
the generator is not necessary.
B - If the generator is equipped with an integrated differential protection device
(version with neutral connected to the ground terminal)
-
In case of supplying a temporary or semi permanent installation, connect the
generator to earth *
C - Mobile applications (eg a generator installed in a moving vehicle)
The generators are designed to operate in a stationary manner. They can not be
installed on a vehicle or other mobile equipment without a study taking into
account the different installation and use specificities. Any use in motion is to be
avoided. If grounding is not possible, connect the grounding terminal of the
generator to the ground of the vehicle.
* To connect the generator to ground: attach a 10 mm² copper wire to the generator
grounding terminal and a 1 meter galvanized steel ground stake in the ground.
