5. GENERATOR USE
5.1 CONNECTIONS TO A BUI
LDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must comply with
all applicable laws and electrical codes.
WARNING
Improper connections to a building's electrical system, can allow electrical current from the generator
to feedback into the utility lines. Such feedback may electrocute utility company workers or others
who contact the lines during a power outage. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.
CAUTION
Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can allow electrical current from the utility
company to feedback into the generator. When utility power is restored, the generator may explode,
burn, or cause fires in the building’s electrical system.
5.2 GROUND SYSTEM
To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a
length of heavy wire between the ground terminal and the ground source. The generators have a
system ground that connects generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC output
receptacles. The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral wire.
If the generator 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. Please consult
a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.
• In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local utility companies.
• If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional regulations which must be
observed.
5.3 AC APPLICATIONS
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:
• Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential
for electrical shock.
• If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off
immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the
rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
• Make sure that the electrical, rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of the generator.
Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum
may be used for no more than 30 minutes.
NOTICE
Substantial overloading will switch off the circuit breaker.
