1.1.3. Electrical Precautions
HIGH VOLTAGE! Obey all safety procedures when you work around electrical
equipment. Failure to observe this warning can result in serious injury or death.
ELECTRIC SHOCK! Make sure the system is off and the dedicated disconnect
switch is in the open position and is locked. Failure to observe this warning can
result in serious injury or death.
Consult all applicable codes and industry standards before connecting the
interface wiring for the microturbine. A qualified electrician may be required to
perform this work. Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
The turbine generator produces a magnetic field that can be harmful to
pacemaker wearers. Pacemaker wearers must stay more than 30 cm (12 in.)
away from an operating turbine engine.
The output voltage and residual capacitor voltage of this equipment is dangerous. Use caution
when you work on electrical equipment. The microturbine system can include multiple sources of
power. Make sure to turn off the system and lock out all sources of power prior to doing any work
on the equipment.
Open and lock the dedicated disconnect switch to isolate the microturbine from the electric
utility grid or loads.
If the microturbine is equipped with battery packs, open the battery isolation switches and
unplug the battery cables.
Wait ten (10) minutes for any capacitive stored voltage to dissipate.
Always disconnect all power sources.
Use a voltmeter to make sure that all circuits are de-energized.
All output connections must be made in accordance with applicable codes.
