WARNING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before the generator can be connected to a build-

 

 

 

ing’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must

2

 

 

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 sup-

ply has failed or has been turned off for line repair.

 

 

 

Backfeeding can electrocute or injure line mainte-

 

 

 

nance personnel. Also, generator and building

 

 

 

electrical system damage can occur when normal

 

 

 

operating power returns if unit is used without an

 

 

 

isolation switch.
