Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (Gfci) - Honda EB2500X Owner's Manual

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Receptacle
m ! A-
Using the generator in rain, snow or near water can lead
to death from electric shock. Keep the generator dry.
All of the 20 ampere 120 volt receptacles on the generator are protected by
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for protection against the hazards
of ground fault currents. Examples of ground fault current is the current
which would flow through a person who is using an appliance with faulty
insulation and, at the same time, is in contact with an electrical ground
such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
The ground fault circuit interruptor will not protect against short circuits or
overloads. The circuit breaker in the control panel which supplies power to
the circuit provides that protection (refer to circuit breaker on page 12).
The ground fault circuit interrupter can be identified by the TEST and
RESET buttons. The receptacles on the GFCI are all tested with the TEST
and RESET buttons.
TEST BUTTON :
To test, depress the "TEST"button (see page 15).
RESET BUTTON :
To restore power, depress the "RESET" button (see
page 16).
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the GFCI. If the
generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, test the GFCI
receptacle before each use. Record your test on the GFCI test card
provided on the fuel tank.
