OPERATION
STANDBY POWER
Connections to a Building’s Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must
be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the
generator power from utility power, and must comply with all
applicable laws and electrical codes.
In some areas, generators are required by law to be registered with
local utility companies. Check local regulations for proper registration
and use procedures.
System Ground
This generator has a system ground that connects generator frame
components to ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The
system ground is not connected to the AC neutral wire.
Improper connections to a building’s
electrical system can allow current
from the generator to backfeed into
the utility lines.
Such backfeed may electrocute
utility company workers or others
who contact the lines during a
power outage, and the generator
may explode, burn, or cause fires
when utility power is restored.
Consult the utility company or a
qualified electrician prior to making
any power connections.
