Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection - Jet JGE3100 Operation Manual

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection

These generators are equipped with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters) 120V duplex receptacles for protection against the
hazards of electrical shock from defective attachments such as, tools,
cords, and cables.
The GFCI may not function unless the generator is properly
grounded. Follow the correct procedure specified in the section
labeled GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.
A GFCI is a device that interrupts electricity from either the utility or
generator by means of a special type of circuit breaker that
determines if a current flow to the ground occurs.
A GFCI can be used only with generators that have the neutral wire
internally bonded to the frame, and the frame properly grounded to
the earth. A GFCI will not work on generators that do not have the
neutral wire bonded to the frame, or on generators which have not
been properly grounded. All Jet generators have internally bonded
ground wires.
