2.4.1 GROUNO/NGTHEGENERATORWHENUSEDASA

PORTABLE

This generator has an equipment ground that connects the

generatorframe componentsto the ground terminals on the AC

output receptacles (see NEC 250.34 (A) for explanation).This

allows the generatorto be used as a portablewithout grounding

the frame ofthe generatorasspecifiedin NEC250.34.

SpecialRequirements

There may be Federalor State OccupationalSafety and Health

Administration(OSHA)regulations,localcodes,or ordinancesthat

applyto the intendeduse ofthe generator.

Pleaseconsult a qualified electrician,electrical inspector, or the

local agencyhavingjurisdiction:

*In some areas, generators are requiredto be registeredwith

local utilitycompanies.

* If the generatoris used at a construction site, there may be

additionalregulationswhich must be observed.

2.4.2 CONNECT/NGTHEGENERATORTOABU/LD/NG'$

ELECTRICALSYSTEM

Connectionsfor standby power to a building's electricalsystem

must be made by a qualifiedelectricianand in strict compliance

with all national and local electrical codes and laws. The

connectionmust isolatethegeneratorpowerfrom utility poweror

otheralternativepowersources.

NOTE:

Becausethe generator equipmentground is bondedto the AC

neutralwiresin thegenerator,eithera3-poletransferswitchor

a2poletransferswitchwith aswitchingneutralkit is required

to connectthisgenerator to abuildingload.In this application

the generator becomesaseparatelyderived system(see NEC

250.20 (D)), and must be grounded in accordance with the

nationalor localelectricalcoderequirements.

,_The National Electrical Code requires that the

frame and external electrically conductive parts

of this generator be properly connected to an

approved earth ground,

Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of

the unit (Figure8). Forthat purpose, connectinga No. 10 AWG

(AmericanWireGauge)strandedcopperwireto the groundinglug

and to an earth-drivencopperor brass grounding rod (electrode)

provides adequateprotection against electrical shock. However,

local codes may vary widely.Consultwith a localelectricianfor

grounding requirementsin thearea.

Proper groundingof the generatorwill help preventelectrical

shockin theeventof a groundfault conditioninthe generatoror in

connectedelectricaldevices.Propergroundingalsohelpsdissipate

static electricity,which often buildsup in ungroundeddevices.

2.5 DON'TOVERLOADTHEGENERATOR

Overloadinga generatorin excess of its ratedwattage capacity

can result indamageto the generatorandto connectedelectrical

devices.Observethefollowing to preventoverloadingthe unit:

* Addupthetotal wattageofall electricaldevicesto be connected

at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the

generator'swattagecapacity.

* The ratedwattageof lights can betaken from light bulbs. The

ratedwattageof tools, appliancesand motors can usually be

foundon a datalabelor decalaffixedto the device.

* If the appliance,tool or motor does not give wattage,multiply
