4.5.2 ELECTRICAL PANEL
Wallenstein Heavy Duty Series generators have models available with a range of features. All heavy duty
generators feature a reliable Honda engine, large fuel tanks for extended run time, and a heavy duty
wheeled frame with fold away handle.
Some models feature:
AVR (auto voltage regulation):
Designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level through a
range of loads.
AVR indicator light shows the status of AVR:
•
Indicator is on steady: Load is within range and voltage is being regulated.
•
Indicator is flashing quickly: Load is too high and voltage is dropping out of
acceptable range.
Auto Idle:
When there is no load detected, the AVR indicator light will blink slowly, and the engine will slow
to an idle. This feature is switchable on or off.
Ground terminal:
The generator ground terminal is connected to the ground terminals of each receptacle
and the frame of the generator. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician or electrical
inspector for any local codes that apply to the intended use of the generator. Ground and neutral are
bonded to the frame.
GCFI Protection:
Jobsite Rated Series feature full panel GFCI protection.
The main breaker also functions as a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
which is able to detect an imbalance as small as 6 milliamps, and it can react
almost instantly to trip the circuit. GFCI circuit protection is a requirement for
OSHA.
GFCI Module Function And Testing:
In a typical circuit, the current returning
to the power supply will be equal to the current leaving the power supply. If
the difference between the current leaving and current returning through the
GFCI exceeds 6 milliamps, the GFCI opens and de-energizes the circuit.
Normal operating state:
•
Power LED is green indicating power is on.
•
Circuit breaker is at “on” position.
•
Fault indicator LED is off.
Ground fault is detected:
•
Power green LED will go out.
•
Red fault led will start blinking.
•
Circuit breaker will trigger to off position.
•
Switch off or disconnect the load, determine the source of the fault and correct.
•
GFCI module will automatically reset, no need to press reset button.
•
Turn on the circuit breaker.
•
Reconnect the load.
Test GFCI for proper operation before each use. Press test button. The circuit should be de-energized,
power green LED will go out, red fault led will start blinking. Push the reset button to reset. Do not operate
generator and have the GFCI module inspected by a qualified electrician if GFCI fails this test.
Note: An electrical overload is indicated if the breaker trips and the GFCI green power light is still on.
