ELECTRICAL SAFETY INFORMATION:
2.1.
Electrical equipment including cable, cords and plug connection must not be defective. Please check
before using.
2.2.
Do not plug the generator directly into a wall socket-outlet.
2.3.
The generator should not be connected to other sources such as the power company supply mains.
In special cases where stand-by connection to existing electrical systems or integration therewith is
intended, note that it is a legal requirement that such connections. or integration may only be
performed by a competent person.
2.4.
Protection against electrical shock depends on circuit-breakers that are specially matched to the
generator. If a circuit breaker requires replacement, it shall be replaced by a circuit breaker that has
identical ratings and performance characteristics.
2.5.
Due to high mechanical stresses only tough rubber-sheathed flexible cable should be used.
2.6.
If the generator is of CLASS II construction, then earthing of the generator is not required.
2.7.
Cord Extension Sets:
2.7.1
A 1.0 mm² flexible cable can draw a maximum of 10 A provided that the cable is no longer than 25 m.
2.7.2.
A 1.5 mm² flexible cable can draw a maximum of 10 A provided that the cable is no longer than 35 m.
2.7.3.
A 1.5 mm² flexible cable can draw a maximum of 16 A provided that the cable is no longer than 20 m.
2.7.4.
A 2.5 mm² flexible cable can draw a maximum of 10 A provided the cable is no longer than 65 m.
2.7.5.
A 2.5 mm² flexible cable can draw a maximum of 16 A provided that the cable is no longer than 45 m.
2.7.6.
A 4 mm² flexible cable can draw a maximum of 10 A provided that the cable is no longer than 100 m.
2.7.7.
A4 mm² flexible cable can draw a maximum of 16 A provided that the cable is no longer than 65 m.
2.8.
DROP IN ELECTRIC EXTENSION CORDS:
When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a
certain amount of voltage drops or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective
voltage available for the appliance or tool.
The chart below has been prepared to illustrate the approximate voltage loss when an extension
cord of 300 feet (approx.100 meters) is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator.
