TERMINAL
If the generator will be used as an alternative to utility company power,
an isolation switch must be installed to disconnect the utility lines
from the building when the generator is connected. Installation must
be performed by a qualified electrician and must comply with all
applicable laws and electrical codes.
In some areas, generators are required by law to be registered with
local utility companies. Check local regulations for proper registration
and use procedures.
Be sure to ground the generator when the connected equipment is
grounded.
