7. The generator usage and its protections:
7.1 Electrical warnings before use.
WARNING: Ensure the installation of the ground wire. If you have doubts,
please, call your electrician.
WARNING: Never connect directly the 230V output of the generator to a
building or a house (even when there is a circuit breaker for the main circuit). The
return of the main circuit will shock with the generator output, which will do serious
damages to the generator or even a fire.
WARNING: Do not connect the generator in parallel with other generators in
order to add powers. The generators will be damaged and there will be a high risk
of fire.
NOTE: Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
NOTE: When an extension cable is required, you have to ensure its good
quality and proper section (ask to your electrician):
Cable length 60m: minimum cable section 2mm
Cable length 100m: minimum cable section 2.5mm
NOTE: Equipment that has an electric motor (compressors, water pumps,
saws, etc.) requires up to 3 times more power during the starting. For example, a
500W water pump requires 1500W to start up. Therefore, always confirm the
nominal powers (rated) of the equipment to be connected and ensure that they do
not exceed the maximum power produced by the generator, according to the
recommendations above.
