3.5.6.2 Protective thermostatic switch
The genset has a thermal overflow switch (protection type IP23) that switches off the genset
if possible overheating occurs. Once the protective thermostatic switch has been tripped, it is
not possible to start the genset again until after it has cooled down sufficiently.
ATTENTION!
Before starting the genset up again, you must remedy the cause of the
excessive heating in order to prevent more switching-offs:
¨
Clean components such as ventilation slots, cooling fins etc. that are
relevant to cooling in order to improve cooling performance.
¨
Avoid operation when the ambient temperature is too high.
¨
Do not overload the genset by connecting consumers that are too large.
3.5.7 Protective isolation with equipotential bonding in the IT network
The genset comes as standard with this protective measure in accordance with DIN VDE 0100
(part 410) so that the possibility of hazardous body currents can be reliably prevented. The
following statements apply to this type:
The generator’s star point is not connected to the genset’s housing.
The phase conductor and the neutral conductor must not be earthed and must not be
connected to the protective conductor / equipotential bonding conductor (PA).
The equipotential bonding conductor (green/yellow) must also be fully routed to the
consumer and connected to it if extension cables are used.
To dissipate static charges, it is permitted to earth the housing with e.g. an earthing screw
and ground spike, see
“4.2.2 Earthing the genset” on page 89
ATTENTION!
¨
Always bear in mind that the genset may be operated with a maximum of
1 directly connected AC consumer.
¨
For optimum cooling before every shutdown, allow the genset to run
without load for at least 1 more minute.
Suitable accessories for proper implementation of the necessary protective measures are
optionally available for your genset.
3.5.8 Electrical connection
The genset was designed for supplying individual consumers (operation in the IT network).
Operation is therefore only permitted under the following conditions:
The neutral conductor is not connected to the housing or the protective conductor.
The individual consumers are connected only via the sockets on the genset.
In the AC network, it is always the case that just 1 consumer is directly connected. There is
no further equipment on the downstream cable reels or socket strips.
