6. GENERATOR USE
The generator produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or
electrocution if misused.
Be sure to ground the generator when the
connected appliance is grounded.
To ground the terminal of the generator, use a
copper wire with same or larger diameter than
the cord of the connected appliance.
Use extension cord set with ground conductor
when connecting an appliance with ground
conductor.
Connect a RCBO (Residual current circuit breaker with overload protection)
of 30 mA ground fault detection and cut-off of less than 0.4 seconds at more
than 30 A of output current, if you are using two or more appliance.
Follow the instructions provided by each RCBO manufacturer before use.
Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can allow current
from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines.
Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others who
contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may explode,
burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored.
Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician prior to making any
power connections.
