Sockets Protection - GENERGY CRETA SILENT RC Instructions For Use Manual

6.1 Sockets protection

Your generator has thermal protectors (circuit breakers) that protect sockets from
higher loads.
In case of exceeding its maximum capacity in one socket, the circuit breaker will
cut the current to avoid an overheating or fire in the socket or in the connected
plug.
• A 16A socket allows a maximum power supply of 3680W (230Vx16A).
• A 32A socket allows a maximum power supply of 7360W (230Vx32A).
In case of overload, first of all, disconnect the connected equipment.
Once the equipment has been disconnected, reset the overload protector by
moving it to the "ON" position and thus restore the voltage output.
If the overload protector jumps when connecting the equipment, give up
connecting it. The connected equipment may have a problem or it may exceed the
maximum capacity of the socket or the generator itself.
Remember that many equipment need an extra power consumption to start.
Devices that has an electric motor (compressors, water pumps, saws, grinders or
others) requires up to 3 times more power during the starting. For example, a
1000W water pump requires 3000W to start, so that we would need a generator
not less than 3000W. In certain refrigerators these calculations can be even
greater.
The equipment has a 30mA differential (RCBO) that protects against current leaks
and also protects people from shocks. This device also protects against maximum
overload supported by the equipment. In case of jump of the RCBO, check
possible problems in the electrical circuit, and once solved, restore the output. The
generator needs a correct independent ground connection for the RCBO to work
correctly.
