6.3. CONNECTING TO DOMESTIC CIRCUITS (HOUSE WIRING)
WARNING:
If a generator is to be connected to residential or commercial power lines for stand-by
power during power outage - all connections must be made by a competent person or
licensed electrician. Connection failure, or improper connection, may result in death,
personal injury, damage to the generator, damage to the appliances, damage to the
building's wiring, or even result in a fire.
6.3.1.
When connecting the generator to the house wiring the generator output power
must be taken from the 230V receptacle/socket.
6.3.2.
A transfer switch must be installed to transfer the load from the commercial power
source to the generator. This switch is necessary to prevent accidents caused by the
recovery from power outages. Use a transfer switch of the correct capacity. Install the
transfer switch between the meter and the fuse or AC Breaker Box.
CAUTION:
If the neutral wire of the house wiring is earthed, be sure to earth the ground terminal of
the generator. An electric shock may result if this procedure is not followed.
