B. Generator Operating Instructions
B.1 Safety Instructions
Do not run the generator with an open capsule!
There are dangerous rotating machine components which could cause injury.
All servicing, maintenance and repair works must be carried out with the generator switched off.
High Voltage DANGER !
The genset output Voltages can all be lethal.
Ensure that all electrical installations comply with all required regulations of the regional authori-
ties. The electrical installation should be performed by a qualified technician.
B.1.1Protection Conductor:
The standard Panda generator is grounded. The 3-phase connection (delta) centre point is brid-
ged to earth in the AC output terminal box (mounted on the generator). This is the initial earth
safety point and is sufficent to ensure safe operation however only as long as no other system is
installed. This system is adapted to enable test running of the generator before delivery.
The bridge to ground (PEN) is only effective when all components in the electrical system share a
common ground. The bridge to ground can be removed and reconnected to another ground
system if required for other safety standards.
Full voltage connections are mounted in the electrical cabinet. It must be ensured that the electri-
cal cabinet is secured and closed while the generator is running.
The starter battery cable should be disconnected when work is being done on either the genera-
tor or the electrical system in order to prevent accidental starting of the generator.
B.1.2Instructions for Capacitors
The generator's electrical system requires two different groups of capacitors:
A) The booster capacitors
B) The operating capacitors
Both types are mounted in the electrical cabinet.
Capacitors store an electrical charge. It is possible that even after they have been disconnected
stored energy is still held. Therefore it is essential that the connectors are not touched.
Should it be necessary to check or test the capacitors, they should be shorted out by using an
insulated screw driver.
The operating capacitors are automatically discharged when the generator is stopped in the nor-
mal way. The booster capacitors will be discharged through internal resistor´s.
For safety however, the capacitors have to be discharged (short circuited) prior to carrying out
any work on the AC-Control box.
CAUTION! Do not touch the capacitor contact terminals!
