7.4 Ground
CAUTION
The mid-point (neutral) conductor of this equipment is not grounded.
Do not drive
the PE rod into the ground under normal operating conditions.
Refer to the local regulations if the equipment is intended to power a building or
similar system.
For generator sets that are to supply a facility in a TT network, or if residual current
protection is required in the TT network, or if this equipment must be used for
additional protection due to conditions or regulations, only 30 mA residual current
protective switches may be used as protective devices. The 30 mA residual current
protective switch must be installed ON the generator set itself, but at least on the
nearest possible position in relation to the generator set. Only with this type of
installation is it allowed and necessary to establish the ground connection of the
generator framework via the point provided on the frame (see ground symbol
5019).
7.5 Heavy duty operation
Do not operate this generator for longer than 20-30 minutes under maximum
electrical load rating. For continuous operation, do not exceed the continuous
(prime) power output of the generator. See technical data of the generator in this
operator's manual.
7.6 Installation
Set up the generator so it is protected from rain, snow or other forms of moisture.
The ground must be solid and level in order to prevent slipping or displacement.
Do not direct the engine exhaust to an area with people.
Both the work area as well as the components must be protected from all forms
of moisture.
