Generator Grounding
To prevent electrical shock or misuse from faulty appliances, the
generator should be grounded with an insulated lead. The National
Electrical Code requires generators to be grounded to an approved
earth ground. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for
local codes or ordinances that apply for the intended use of the
generator.
AC Usage
Before starting the generator, make sure that total power of loads
(total of resistive
, capacitive and inductive loads) does not exceed the
rated power of the generator. Never add more load than the
generator capacity. Take special care to consider surge loads in
generator capacity.
