TP-6906 6/1416 Section 1 Installation Instructions
1.4 Electrical System
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause severe injury or death.
Disconnect all power sources before
opening the enclosure.
DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Operate the generator set only when
all guards and electrical enclosures
areinplace.
Moving parts.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Backfeed to the utility system can
cause property damage, severe
injury, or death.
If the generator set is used for
standby power, install an automatic
transfer switch to prevent inadvertent
interconnection of standby and
normal sources of supply.
WARNING
Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage can
cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible
whenever electricity is present. Ensure you comply with all
applicable codes and standards. Electrically ground the
generator set, transfer switch, and related equipment and
electrical circuits. Turn off the main circuit breakers of all
power sources before servicing the equipment. Never contact
electrical leads or appliances when standing in water or on wet
ground because these conditions increase the risk of
electrocution.
Disconnecting the electrical load. Hazardous voltage can
cause severe injury or death. Disconnect the generator set
from the load by turning off the line circuit breaker or by
disconnecting the generator set output leads from the transfer
switch and heavily taping the ends of the leads. High voltage
transferred to the load during testing may cause personal
injury and equipment damage. Do not use the safeguard
circuit breaker in place of the line circuit breaker. The
safeguard circuit breaker does not disconnect the generator
set from the load.
Before installing the generator set, provide for electrical
connections through conduit to the transfer switch and
other accessories for the generator set. Route DC leads
in separate conduit from AC conductors. Carefully
install the selected generator set accessories. Route
wiring to the generator set through flexible connections.
Comply with all applicable codes when installing a wiring
system.
See the dimension drawings in Section 4 for the
recommended stub-up location.
AC circuit protection. All AC circuits must include
circuit breaker or fuse protection. The circuit breaker
must be rated for a maximum of 125% of the rated
generator set output current. The circuit breaker must
open all ungrounded connectors.
The generator set is equipped with a factory-installed
circuit breaker.
