Energizer EZG6000 User Manual page 14

Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power, and must comply
with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
WARNING
Improper connections to a building's electrical system, can allow electrical current from the
generator to feedback into the utility lines. Such feedback may electrocute utility company workers
or others who contact the lines during a power outage. Consult the utility company or a qualified
electrician.
CAUTION
Improper connections to a building's electrical system can allow electrical current from the utility
company to feedback into the generator. When utility power is restored, the generator may
explode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical system.
2) Ground System
To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a
length of heavy wire between the ground terminal and the ground source. The generators have a
system ground that connects generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC
output receptacles. The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral wire.
If the generator is tested by a receptacle tester, it will not show the same ground circuit condition
as for a home receptacle.
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 which must be
observed.
