7-3. Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) and Grounding
WARNING : Electric Shock
Ground the every grounding terminal to the earth as set in the manual.
If even one of all is unconnected by mistake or accident, it will be
much more dangerous for human than the NO-RELAY case,
because leaking current inevitably goes through the body.
Even though all the bonnets of the loads have been grounded to the
earth, the earth grounding terminal and the outer bonnet (canopy)
grounding terminal should be grounded to the earth.
Grounding should be made after the engine is stopped.
Whenever the Residual Current Circuit Breaker is activated, you should
always repair the leaking place first of all.
The generator is provided with the Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) to detect any
Leakage produced due to such the trouble as insulation failure of the load while the
generator is running and to cut off the circuit for protection against any accident such
as electrical shock resulting from the trouble.
The specification of RCCB;
 Rated Sensitive Current: 30mA (or below) (Grounding resistance: 500Ω or below)
 Sensitive time: Within 0.1second
(1) Grounding Work
The qualified electrician should perform
the grounding of the following 2 points
(500Ωor below).
 The Bonnet (Canopy) grounding terminal
of the generator.
 The Bonnet of the load.
< Note >
 In the event you cannot ground the
generator to the earth, consult with the
authorized distributor or our engineering
section.
