Connections to a Building’s Electrical System
Do not connect an EB2000i generator to a home or building's electrical
system.
The Honda EB2000i generator is designed for construction job site use
and cannot be connected to a building's electrical system. This
generator has the neutral bonded to ground to comply with OSHA job
site temporary power regulation. Building main breaker boxes also have
the neutral bonded to ground, so if an EB2000i generator is connected
to a home or building electrical system, the GFCI relay will trip the
generator's main circuit breaker.
System Ground
The Honda EB2000i generator has a system ground that connects
generator frame components to the ground terminals at the AC output
receptacles. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.
Special Requirements
Do not lay the generator on its side when moving, storing, or operating
it. Oil may leak and damage the engine or your property.
There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that
apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.
• In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local
utility companies.
• If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional
regulations that must be observed.
