2.3.2
Back-up generator tests / mains electrical supply surges.
Damage to internal electrical components of the Vortex macerator can occur as a result
of voltage surges / spikes occurring in the electrical supply to the machine. The likelihood
of such damage occurring is increased when frequent testing of back-up electrical
supplies are carried out.
To prevent such damage, Vernacare recommends that transient voltage suppressors (in
accordance with IEC class 3 surge protection) be installed in the electrical supply to the
machine.
