CONNECTION

w

Before the generator can be connected to a build- ing’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch in the build- ing’s main fuse box. The switch is the connection point for generator power and allows selection of generator or main line power to the building. This will prevent the generator from charging the main power line (backfeeding) when the main power supply has failed or has been turned off for line repair. Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line maintenance personnel. Also, generator and build- ing electrical system damage can occur when nor- mal operating power returns if unit is used without an isolation switch.

should not exceed

60 meters for cross section of 1.5 mm square and

100 meters for cross section of 2.5 mm square.

9This extension cord should be protected by a tough flexible rubber sheath (IEC 245) or the equivalent to withstand mechanical stresses.
