period.
Grounding the Generator The National Electric Code (NEC), as well as many local electrical codes, may require the generator to be connected to earth ground before operating. The most common application that requires a ground rod is when you are using the generator as a separately derived system to provide back up power to your house. Typically this is when a transfer switch has a switched neutral.
As the generator application has many variables that cannot be determined by the manufacturer of the generator, a licensed electrician will need to determine if a grounding rod is needed.
If a licensed electrician has determine the application requires a ground rod, make sure it is connected to earth ground by connecting the ground terminal on the control panel to earth ground using copper wire (minimum 10
requirements.
Neutral Bonded: There is a permanent conduct or between the generator (stator winding) and the frame.
WARNING
Be sure the generator is properly connected to earth ground before operating. The generator must be grounded to prevent electrical shock due to faulty appliances.
OPERATION
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above sea level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for every 1000ft of increased altitude from sea level. This is a natural occurrence and cannot be adjusted by engine. Increased exhaust emissions can also result due to increased fuel mixture. Other issues include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
CONNECTING THE GENERATOR TO A
BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
It is recommended to use a manual transfer switch when connecting directly to a buildings electrical system. Connecting a portable generator to a buildings electrical system must be made in strict compliance with all national and local electrical codes and laws, and be completed by a
HOW TO GROUND THE GENERATOR

OPERATION
POWER OUTPUT AND DEMAND
into consideration, namely the running power and the starting/peak power. Both are measured in Watts (typically abbreviated as “W”). The steady state continuous load is the running power demand and this is often marked on the device near its model number or serial number. Sometimes the device might only be marked with its voltage (i.e. 120 V) and current draw (e.g. 6 Amp or 6 A), in which case the running power demand in Watts can be obtained by multiplying the voltage times the current, e.g. 120 V × 6 A = 720 W. Simple resistive 240-Volt AC devices such as incandescent bulbs, toasters, heaters, etc. have no extra power demand when starting, and so their starting power demands are the same as their running power demands. More complex 240-Volt AC devices containing inductive or capacitive elements such as electric motors have a momentary extra power demand when starting, which can be up to seven times the running power demand or more. Manufacturers of such devices rarely publish this starting power demand and so it’s often necessary to power multiplier of 1.2 for small hand-held or portable devices and a value of 3.5 for larger stationary devices. For example, a 900 W angle grinder can be assumed to have a starting power demand of at least 1.2 × 900 W, which equals 1,080 W. Similarly, a 1,650 W air compressor can be assumed to have a starting power demand of at least 3.5 × 1,650 W, which equals 5,775 W. To prevent overloading of the generator’s 240-Volt AC system: 1. Add up the running power demand of all the 240-Volt AC devices that will be
connected to the generator at one time. This total must not be greater than the
2. Add up the running power demand again, but for the largest motor-driven device use the value of its starting power demand instead of its running power demand.
3. The total running power demand of all the devices that will be connected to any one output.
