STANDBY POWER

Connections to a Building's Electrical System

Do not connect an EB10000 generator to a home or building's
electrical system.
The Honda EB10000 generator is designed for construction job site
use and cannot be connected to a building's electrical system. This
generator has the neutral bonded to ground to comply with OSHA job
site temporary power regulation. Building main breaker boxes also
have the neutral bonded to ground, so if an EB10000 generator is
connected to a home or building electrical system, the GFCI relay will
trip the generator's main circuit breaker.

System Ground

The Honda EB10000 generator has a system ground that connects
generator frame components to the ground terminals at the AC output
receptacles. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.

Special Requirements

There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that
apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.
In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local
utility companies.
If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be
additional regulations that must be observed.
