GENERATING SET USE
• Avoid overloading the generating set; the following rules must be respected if the
generating set is to perform properly:
- the sum of the power outputs of the machines connected simultaneously to the
generating set must be compatible with the characteristics given in the last pages
of this manual,
- some appliances draw more power when starting up than their nominal power
rating (electric motors and compressors are examples). We recommend that you
contact a Honda dealer in case of doubt,
- do not exceed the maximum current specified for each receptacle.
• The generating set must not be loaded to its nominal power if conditions are such
that the normal cooling requirements are not met (atmospheric pressure: 100 kPa [1
bar]). When using the generating set in unfavourable conditions, take care to reduce
the power load. Example: 28 A (limited to X A by the circuit breaker).
INFORMATION ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GENERATING SET
• The generator windings are not connected to the earth; the system is thus safe by
construction and limits the risks of electrocution. It is strictly forbidden to connect the coils
to the generator earth, except when using a 30 mA differential circuit breaker for the
protection of persons. The installation of such a device must be carried out by a specialist
electrician and requires all appliances to be earthed.
• The differential circuit breaker acts as a check against faulty insulation. It cuts off the power
when there is a detectable fault in the insulation between a voltage-bearing conductor and
any part of the earth, on the output side of the differential circuit breaker.
ECT6500 (230/400V)
• The three 230 V single-phase receptacles are connected in parallel to the terminals of a
winding specially reinforced to withstand a current of 20 A. The single-phase 230 V power
output given on the rating plate, and also indicated in the table of characteristics, is
available only on these receptacles and when no other three-phase load is connected to
the generator’s outputs. Never connect the generator’s three-phase receptacle to a single-
phase splitter box.
When using simultaneously 230 V single-phase and 400 V three-phase current, the current
intensity per phase must not exceed 10 A.
Ex: Power available from receptacles for simultaneous three-phase and single-phase use.
Three-phase 0 3000 W 4000 W 5000 W 6000 W 7000 W
Single-phase 4500 W 1300 W 950 W 650 W 300 W 0
