ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
GROUNDING THE STATIONARY EMERGENCY GENERATOR
A GROUNDING LUG is provided on the generator mounting base
for the purpose of grounding the frame and the external electrically
conductive parts of this equipment to an approved earth ground
and/or grounding rods where required by the National Electrical
Code (Figure 8.2). Consult a qualified electrician for grounding
requirements in the area. Grounding procedures must meet local
regulations.


Do not connect the ground wire to any pipe
that carries a flammable or explosive sub-
stance - FIRE or an EXPLOSION may result.
Proper grounding helps protect personnel against electrical shock
in the event of a ground fault condition in the generator or in con-
nected electrical devices. In addition, grounding helps dissipate
static electricity that often builds up in ungrounded devices.
