GDP-5000H — LOAD APPLICATION

CAUTION:WARNING:

zAlways use a vibrator with short circuit protection.

zAlways use rubber boots and gloves when operating the vibrator.

zUse adequate size connecting cable for extension.

zMaintain electrical cords in good condition and frequently replace the entire cable of the vibrator with a new one.

Earth Leakage Breaker (180 Cycle)

The 180 Hz leakage breaker (Figure 4) is an earth leakage breaker, so please use it after carefully reading the following:

Figure 4. Earth Leakage Breaker

Before connecting this generator to any building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch.

Serious injury or death may result without this transfer switch.

How to Use

Always conduct the following in order that the earth leakage breaker will operate safely. Also, if the leakage breaker should for some reason actuate, first stop the generator and then repair or eliminate the source of the earth leakage before resetting the leakage breaker.When setting up the generator perform the following:

Ground the Generator

Ground the generator from its ground connector so that resistance to ground is 500 ohms or less.

Ground the Tool

Ground the tool (load) in the same manner as the generator.

NOTE

Simply because the generator is equipped with a earth leakage breaker does not mean that grounding of the load can be neglected, please be sure to properly ground load equipment.

NOTE

Before operating generator press earth leakage test button.

The earth leakage breaker's earth leakage detection sensitivity is 30 mA, and the actuation time is 0.1 sec.

Test Operation

For safety’s sake, the operation of the earth leakage breaker should be tested periodically according to the following procedure:

1.Start the engine and set it to high speed.

2.Turn the leakage breaker ON.

3.During normal operation, press the earth leakage indicator test button on the front of the generator and observe that indicator button pops out and the leakage breaker trips.

4.Push the indicator button back in when resetting.
