  • Page 19: Generator Derating

    Operation GV 5600A Generator Derating All generators are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output.

  • Page 20: Grounding The Generator

    GV 5600A Operation Grounding the Generator A ground connection (a) is located on the generator frame. For proper operating safety, this ground terminal must be connected to a good ground source. This ground connection must comply with National Electrical Code standards, and state and local regulations.

  • Page 21: Use Of Extension Cords

    Operation GV 5600A Use of Extension Cords When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance.
