GENERATING SET USE
INFORMATION ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GENERATING SET
The generator windings are not connected to the earth; the system is thus safe by construction
and limits the risks of electrocution. It is strictly forbidden to connect the coils to the generator
earth, except when using a 30 mA differential circuit breaker for the protection of persons. The
installation of such a device must be carried out by a specialist electrician and requires all
appliances to be earthed.
The differential circuit breaker actsas a check against faulty insulation.It cuts off the power when
there is a detectable fault in the insulation between a voltage-bearing conductor and any part of
the earth, on the output side of the differential circuit breaker.
ECT6D (230/400 V)
The two 230 V single-phase receptacles are connected in parallel to the terminals of a winding
specially reinforced to withstand a current of 20 A. The single-phase 230 V power output given
on the rating plate, and also indicated in the table of characteristics, is available only on these
receptacles and when no other three-phase load is connected to the generator’s outputs. Never
connect the generator’s three-phase receptacle to a single-phase splitter box.
When using simultaneously 230 V single-phase and 400 V three-phase current, the current
intensity per phase must not exceed 10 A.
