1.8 Electrical Connections
Hazardous voltage.
Backfeed to the utility system can
cause property damage, severe
injury, or death.
If the generator set is used for
standby power, install an automatic
transfer switch to prevent inadvertent
interconnection of standby and
normal sources of supply.
WARNING
Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage can
cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible
whenever electricity is present. Ensure you comply with all
applicable codes and standards. Electrically ground the
generator set, transfer switch, and related equipment and
electrical circuits. Turn off the main circuit breakers of all
power sources before servicing the equipment. Never contact
electrical leads or appliances when standing in water or on wet
ground because these conditions increase the risk of
electrocution.
Electrical backfeed to the utility. Hazardous backfeed
voltage can cause severe injury or death. Install a transfer
switch in standby power installations to prevent theconnection
of standby and other sources of power. Electrical backfeed
into a utility electrical system can cause severe injury or death
to utility personnel working on power lines.
NOTICE
Canadian installations only. For standby service connect
the output of the generator set to a suitably rated transfer
switch in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
Have an authorized distributor/dealer or a licensed
electrician make the following electrical connections.
The electrical installation must comply with the National
Electrical Code (NEC) class 1 wire designation and all
applicable local codes. Canadian installations must
comply with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and
applicable local codes.
Ground the generator set from the GRD terminal inside
controller compartment according to applicable codes.

1.8.2 Power Supply
Power must be supplied to the generator set location for
the battery charger and the optional accessories shown
in Figure 1-18. The power source must be GFCI
protected. The power to the accessories must be
available at all times, i.e. the circuit must be powered by
the utility source and backed up by the generator.
Connect power to the utility power connection points on
the terminal block. See Section 1.8.3 and the wiring
diagrams in Section 2 for connection details. See
Figure 1-18 for the power requirements for the battery
charger and accessories.
