GENERATING SET USE

Your Honda generator is a reliable piece of equipment, developed
to ensure your safety. It can help you carry out work more easily and
bring improvements to your leisure time, but there is also a risk of
electrocution if you do not follow strictly the instructions for use
given in this chapter.
The generator produces
enough electric power to cause
a serious shock or electrocution
if misused. Be sure to ground
the generator [1] when the
connected appliance is
grounded.
To ground the terminal of the
generator, use a cooper wire
with same or larger diameter
than the cord of the connected
appliance.
Use extension cord set with
ground conductor when connecting an appliance with ground
conductor.
To identify the Ground pin in the plug, see "Receptacle"

Connect a RCBO (Residual current circuit breaker with overload
protection) of 30 mA ground fault detection and cut-off of less than
0.4 seconds at more than 30 A of out put current, if you are using
two or more appliance

Follow the instructions provided by each RCBO manufacturer
before use.

• Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can

allow current from the generator to backfeed into the utility
lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the lines during a power
outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires
when utility power is restored.
Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician prior to
making any power connections.

• Do not connect any appliances to the receptacles before

starting the generator.

• Do not alter the internal wiring of the generator.
• Do not alter the engine settings: the voltage and frequency

of the generator output are directly linked to the engine
speed; these settings are adjusted in the factory.

• Only connect appliances in good working order: most

portable electrical tools are Class II (double insulation).
Equipment that does not meet this standard (tools with
metallic casing) has to powered via 3 conductor cable (with
an earth conductor) to ensure correct earthing in the event of
an electrical fault.

• Supply only machines whose voltage, as specified on their

rating plates, corresponds to that produced by the
generator.

• Due to high mechanical stresses only tough rubber-

sheathed flexible cable (in accordance with IEC 245-4) or the
equivalent should be used.

• The generator meets the protective measure "electrical

separation with equipotential bonding "as stated in the
IEC 60364-4-41: dec 2005 §413. (and VDE0100 part 728).
- The used power system is the IT system

- with neutral conductor N (for 3 phase machine) and
- non earthed equipotential bonding conductor PE,

connecting all exposed conductive parts of the
generator together.

- Earthing of the generator is for the proper function of this

protective measure not required.

- Only connect appliances in good working condition; most

portable electrical tools are Class II (double insulation).
Equipment that do not meet this standard (tools with
metallic casing) have to be powered via 3-conductor cable
(equipotential conductor PE conductor).

- If the neutral conductor shall be earthed anyway, this may

only be performed by a professional electrician,
implementing the additional safety devices required
together with the new protective measure
(cf. IEC 364-4-41).

• Electric extension cables must be carefully selected, fitted

and maintained. Good condition insulators will ensure the
safety of the user. Cables must be inspected regularly; they
should be replaced, and not repaired, in the event of a defect.
Choose the length and cross-section of the extension cables
according to the work to be done (see table below for
indications).

• Value for an admissible voltage drop on-line of 7 V and an

admissible current of 7 A per mm

of cable section:

- ambient temperature: 20° C,
- completely unwind the cable to avoid deterioration of the

insulation by over-heating,

- comply with the cable manufacturer’s instructions.

• This generator is not recommended for use with electronic

apparatus, such as televisions, hi-fis, or microcomputers,
which might not be compatible with it.

• Avoid overloading the generator; the following rules must be

respected if the generator is to perform properly:
- the sum of the power outputs of the machines connected

simultaneously to the generator must be compatible with
the characteristics given in the
