Connections to a Building Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection
must isolate the generator/welder power from utility power, and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical
codes. A transfer switch, which isolates generator/welder power from utility power, is available through authorized
generator dealers.
Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator/welder to back
feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines
during a power outage, and the generator/welder may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored.
Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.
GROUND SYSTEM
Portable generators/welders have a system ground that connects generator/welder frame components to the ground
terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral wire. lf the genera-
tor/welder is tested by a receptacle tester, it will not show the same ground circuit condition as for a home receptacle.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
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/welder. Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical
inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.
· In some areas, generators/welders are required to be registered with local utility companies.
· If the generator/welder is used at a construction site, there may be additional regulations which must be observed.
AC Operation
1. Start the engine.
2. Switch on the AC circuit breaker.
3. Plug in the appliance.
· Do not connect the generator/welder to a household circuit. This could cause damage to the generator or to electrical
wiring and appliances in the house.
·For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated load capacity. In either case, be sure to consider the total power
requirements of all connected appliances. Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. Substantial
overloading will switch off the circuit breaker. Marginal overloading may not switch off the circuit breaker, but it will
shorten the service life of the generator/welder.
·If an overloaded circuit causes the AC circuit breaker to switch off, reduce the electrical load on the circuit, and wait a
few minutes before resetting the circuit breaker.
·Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them to the generator. If an appliance begins
to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the circuit breaker and the engine switch
immediately. Then disconnect the appliance and examine it for signs of malfunction..
·Most appliance and power tool motors require more than the rated operating current for start-up. To match appliance
power needs to generator capability, allow a sufficient generator power reserve to accommodate motor start-up
requirements. Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list rating information near the model number or serial
number.
