OPERATION
STANDBY POWER
Connections to a Building’s Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must
be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the
generator power from utility power, and must comply with all
applicable laws and electrical codes.
In some areas, generators are required by law to be registered with
local utility compani
es. Check local regulations for proper regi
stration
and use procedures.
System Ground
This generator has a system ground that connects generator frame
components to ground term
inals in the AC output receptacles. The
system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.
Improper connections to a building’s
electrical system can allow current
from the generator to backfeed into
the utility lines.
Such backfeed may electrocute
utility
company workers or oth
ers
who contact the lines during a
power outage, and the generator
may explode, burn, or cause fires
when utility power is restored.
Consult the utility company or a
qualifi
ed electrician prior to
making
any power connections.
