6.6 Generating set operation
WARNING
• It is forbidden to connect the set to the public grid and/or other source of electricity.
• The machine must not be grounded.
6.6.1 Auxiliary generation in AC 230V/50Hz (60Hz) or 115V/50Hz (60Hz)
Auxiliary power generation is available via the 3-pole socket
(1).
• The machine single-phase generation has been de-
signed to supply small power tools (grinding wheels,
drills, etc.), generally at the service of welding operations
with fast and safe connections, and with no mandatory
ground rod. For the details, see “6.1 Grounding”.
• Check that the electrical characteristics of the devices to
be supplied (voltage, power, frequency) are compatible
with those of the machine.

damage the electrical equipment.
• Connect the utilities to be powered using suitable cables
and plugs, in excellent condition.
6.6.2 Overload protection (overcurrent)
• Auxiliary power generation is provided by the AC Inverter
positioned inside the engine driven machine.
• The AC Inverter is equipped with a circuit for overload
(overcurrent) protection that limits the current supplied to
a preset value.
• If the protection is tripped, the AC voltage is immediately
disconnectedonthesocket,signalledbytheashingred
LED (2).
Note:
WhentheredLED(2)lightsupwithaxedlightduring
auxiliary generation, it warns that the current supplied
has exceeded the declared value and that the voltage at
the socket will be interrupted within a short time.
Immediately decreasing the connected load prevents the
protection from tripping.
• If the protection is tripped, check that the current ab-
sorbed by the load does not exceed the declared auxilia-
ry current.
• Aftertheprotectionhastripped,switchothemachine;
waitfortheredLED(2)tostopashing(about30-40
seconds), then restart the machine to power the output
socket again.
