Frame Ground Connection

WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. NEC requires that the frame and exposed conductive surfaces (metal parts) be connected to an approved earth ground. Local codes may also require proper grounding of generator systems.

The NEC requires that the frame and exposed metal surfaces be at local ground reference potential to avoid electrical shock hazard. A local ground reference may require a driven earth ground conductor at the generator installation site. Make the ground connection as shown in Figure 3-3. Use the appropriate size wire (normally 6 AWG) as required by NEC and local codes. The local reference ground is normally a copper clad earth ground rod driven into the earth at least 8 feet.
