Possible Concerns
NONE
Voltage spikes or high voltage
regulation can cause the capaci-
tative elements to fail. Surge
protection, transient protection,
and additional loading is recom-
mended for 100% fail-safe
operation. DO N N OT R R UN

These devices require large
current inrush for starting. (See
Table B.3, GENERATOR POWER
APPLICATIONS, in the OPERA-
TION section of this manual for
required starting wattages.)
Some synchronous motors may
be frequency sensitive to attain
maximum output torque, but
they SHOULD BE SAFE from
any frequency induced failures.
An inductive type line condition-
er along with transient and
surge protection is required, and
liabilities still exist. DO N N OT
