3. PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION OF THE POWER GENERATOR
3.1. Denition of the device class
The type 2801 power generator belongs to the device class of electricity generating units with com-
bustion engine and asynchronous generator and is designed for 230 V, 50 Hz electricity generation in
commercial and private environments. The supply is in a transportable distribution system.
The type 2801 power generator is characterised especially by its robust construction and the protec-
tion class IP 54.
3.2. Intended use
• As part of a mains back-up system, the power generator produces electrical energy to feed into
a transportable distribution system.
• Connect electrical consumers only up to the total power indicated on the rating plate. You can
nd the power generator rating plate on the left side below the control box.
• Observe the specications for voltage and frequency.
• Note the start/inrush current for inductive consumers.
• The loop impedance as the sum of all connected cables must not be greater than 1.5 Ω in ac-
cordance with ISO 8528-8. This results in cable lengths of up to 60 m with a cable cross section
of 1.5 mm² and up to 100 m with a cable cross section of 2.5 mm². Use only approved extension
cables that correspond to the standard.
• Electronically controlled devices can be sensitive to overvoltage or undervoltage. These voltage
uctuations can lead to malfunctions or can damage this equipment. Ask the manufacturer
whether their device is designed to be powered by a power generator.
• Only operate the power generator on a level surface outdoors. Maintain the minimum distanc-
es specied in section 2.2. Supply and exhaust openings must be free.
• Note the selected earthing system. If your power generator is equipped with a residual current
device (RCD), it must be earthed properly before commissioning.
• Reading and observing the operating instructions for the power generator and the drive motor
is part of the intended use.
• Note the requirements for maintenance and repair.
