GROUNDING THE

GENERATOR

The National Electric Code requires the frame and external electrically conductive parts of generator be properly connected to approved earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the unit. For that purpose, a GROUNDING WING NUT (Figure 1) is provided on the cradle frame.

Grounding Wing Nut

Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing nut and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical shock. However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for grounding requirements in your area. Be sure to keep the grounding wire secure while you connect to the grounding rod.

Properly grounding the generator helps prevent electrical shock if a ground fault condition exists in the generator or in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded devices.
