USER SAFETY
The Picote Generator is equipped with earth leakage protection and earth pin, connected following the TN
-
S
electrical scheme.
Note: Always use the earth pin.
For connection of charges class 1 (charges with earthing) and charges class 2 (charges with double insulation, to
be recognized by the
“
double square
”
pictogram on the generator) an unlimited number of charges can be
connected to the genset at the same time.
The working of the earth leakage protection can only be guaranteed if the added earth pin with 4 metres of earthing cable
is connected to the generating set (see symbol
‘
earthing
’
on the generating set). The earth pin has to be drawn into the
soil completely to guarantee a good functioning.
The spreading resistance of the earth electrode has to be measured by a recognized organisation.
Residual current device of the Generator is type A
and residual current permission is
30 mA.
