ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All wiring must meet applicable local, state, and
federal electrical codes. Accordingly, have a
qualified electrician install and inspect the wiring.
Mount switches and controls securely to prevent
damage from vibration and road shock. All switches
must be vibration proof to prevent accidental opening
and closing of circuits while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING!
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY! SEAL ALL WIRE
OPENINGS IN THE VEHICLE INTERIOR TO KEEP
OUT EXHAUST GAS.
The generator system output conductors must be
rated no less than 115% of the nameplate current
rating of the generator system. The factory supplied
conductor insulation is rated at 90°C. Wires
connected to the generator must meet or exceed this
insulation rating (See National Electrical Code,
NFPA 70). State and local codes specify different
grounding requirements for mobile vehicles with
electric generator systems. These specific codes
must be followed in order to ensure personal
protection.
WARNING!
FAULTY ELECTRICAL GROUNDING CAN LEAD
TO FIRE OR ELECTROCUTION, RESULTING IN
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
GROUNDING MUST BE DONE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE CODES.
Generators mounted permanently on a mobile vehicle
must be grounded securely to the vehicle frame. In
addition, the neutral conductor of the generator
output must be grounded at the generator only.
Remove any grounding tabs or connectors that may
be in the meter panels or distribution panels. This
will avoid problems with personnel safety and
Ground Fault (GFCI) devices.
The 4 generator AC output leads are visibly marked.
Connect the leads as shown in the electrical diagram
on the following page. All standard units are wired
120/240 VAC; however, generators can be
reconnected for straight 120 VAC.
