Connections to a Building’s Electrical System
Do not connect an EB3000c generator to a home or building’s electrical
system.
The Honda EB3000c generator is designed for construction job site use
and cannot be
connected to a building’s electrical system. This
generator has the neutral bonded to ground to comply with OSHA job
site temporary power regulation. Building main breaker boxes also have
the neutral bonded to ground, so if an EB3000c generator is connected
to a home or building electrical system, the GFCI relay will trip the
generator’s main circuit breaker.
System Ground
This generator has a system ground that connects generator frame
components to ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The
system ground is co
nnected to the AC neutral wire.
Special Requirements
There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health
Admini
stra
tion (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that
apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.
• In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local
utility companies.
• I
f the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional
regulations that must be observed.
