Connecting Generator to an Electrical System
•
If connecting generator to a building's electrical system for standby power, you must use a qualified electrician to install
a transfer switch. The power from the generator must be isolated from the circuit breaker or alternative power source.
The connection must comply with all electrical codes and applicable laws.
WARNING!
•
Never handle the generator, electronic devices, or any cord while standing in water, while barefoot, or when hands or
feet are wet.
•
Always keep the generator dry. Never operate generator in rain or under wet conditions.
•
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in a damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel
work.
•
Never plug electronic devices into generator having frayed, worn, or bare wires. Never touch bare wires or make
contact with receptacles.
•
Never permit a child or unqualified person to operate generator. Keep children a minimum of 10 feet away from the
generator at all times.
•
If using the generator for back up power, notify the utility company.
•
If connecting generator to a building's electrical system for standby power, you must use a qualified electrician to
install a transfer switch. Failure to isolate the generator from the power utility could result in serious injury or death to
electric utility workers.
Grounding the Generator (See fig 8)
The ground terminal located on the back of the generator frame must always be used
to connect generator to a driven ground rod. Connect the ground terminal to the driven
ground rod with a No 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire. The wire connects
to the terminal between the lock washer and nut. Tighten the nut securely to ensure
proper connection. Grounding the generator protects you from electric shock that
results from a build up of static electricity or undetected ground faults.
