2.5.5 Connecting the consumer
Before connecting the electrical consumer check to make sure the overall
load of the consumer does not exceed the generator power specified on
the identification plate of the generator.
Consumers can be connected even with a running generator. In this case,
make sure that the consumers are switched off when connecting them to
the electrical outlets.
2.5.6 Grounding the generator
GEKO generators are manufactured in accordance with the standard DIN VDE 0100/Part
551 and DIN VDE 0100/Part 410 with the protective measure of electrical separation of
the IT network, i.e. the neutral point of the generator is not connected to the generator
housing. Grounding by means of the grounding screw (Position 16-14) on the generator
and a grounding spike can therefore only be used for dissipation of static electricity
charges. The equipotential bonding conductor (green/yellow) must however lead to and
be connected to all consumers without a break.
However, if the generator is equipped with a protective circuit fault current protective
circuit (available as an option), the neutral point of the generator must be connected to
the generator unit housing and be connected by means of a grounding screw and possi-
bly a grounding spike with suitable equipotential bonding. It is important to ensure that,
after grounding and before operating the generator, the protective measure is checked
by an electrician in accordance with BGV A3 (measurement and test report) and the pro-
tective measure is tested as functional. Also, here a gap-free connection of all equipo-
tential bonding conductors and connection of the consumer must be ensured.
Now the generator is designed as a TN-C-S system.
The electrician is responsible for implementation of protective measures. Any protective
measures should be checked by an electrician for efficiency before commissioning of the
generator.
