Use and maintenance Manual AUTOMATIC GENSET CONTROL PANEL
with GC310/GC350
The panel must be placed at a safe distance from heating sources, fuel storage,
flammable material (paper, cloth, etc.) and chemical substances. The precautions
adopted must be those approved by the competent authorities. In order to avoid
potentially dangerous situations, isolate the area around the panel preventing
unauthorised personnel from approaching.
Although SICES products comply with the electromagnetic compatibility rules,
we still strongly recommend NOT to install the Panel (and Genset) next to
equipment ejecting emissions.
Pay special attention while assembling the control panel, in order to prevent external elements from
falling into the panel, i.e. metal shavings or other which could damage or impede the operation of
the electric components.
CEI EN 60439-1 rule assigns INDIVIDUAL TESTS to the installer, in particular the following points:
- 8.3.1. Equipment inspection, including cable inspection and insulation test;
- 8.3.3. Protection measures check.
Note:
It is responsibility of the installer to provide a DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY around the
Control Panel installation once the work has been completed.
WARNING!
A wrong installation or electrical connection may cause serious damage to
persons, Genset, Control Panel and/or plants connected to it.
In order to protect the panel from indirect contacts, overload and short-circuit, it is the installer
responsibility to connect a protection device on the MAINS line with the correct characteristics and
values for the installation point.
As guarantee against electrodynamics stress caused by a short circuit, for panels fixed to the floor,
it is necessary to fix the various lines to each other or to a support. It is also necessary to provide
sup
ports for the power cables so that these don’t weigh down the transfer switch connection bars.
It is the responsibility of the installer to check that the electrical loads connected to the load and its
relative current values do not exceed the projected value of the panel.
The installer must provide the installation of all the necessary equipment apt to
guarantee a safe and correct operations of the system in which the genset control
panel is installed (i.e. coordination of the protections against direct and indirect
contacts).
Note:
We recommend the use of proper devices (overvoltage arresters) in order to protect the
circuits directly supplied by the Mains from overvoltage due to atmospheric discharges or particular
events.
