6.3 Circuit Protection

The AC circuit breaker protects the generator set from

extreme overload. The AC circuit breaker trips when it

detects a fault in the output circuit.

For application and selection information contact an

authorized distributor/dealer.

After correcting the fault, reset the AC circuit breaker by

placing it in the ON position. Restart the unit. See an

authorized service distributor/dealer for AC circuit

breaker ratings. The unit’s voltage configuration

determines the circuit breaker selection.

Note: Circuit breaker ampere rating and availability are

subject to change.

6.3.1 Circuit Breaker Considerations

Mounting location. Mount the circuit breaker in the

generator set’s junction box.

Sizing. Use the generator set voltage/frequency

configuration to determine the circuit breaker

amperage. If the circuit breaker was sized for one

voltage configuration and later the generator set is

reconnected to a different voltage, change the circuit

breaker accordingly to provide optimum protection.

Have a qualified electrician or technician install circuit

breakers and reconnect the generator set. Comply with

all governing standards and codes.

Accidental starting.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Disconnect the battery cables before

working on the generator set.

Remove the negative (--) lead first

when disconnecting the battery.

Reconnect the negative (--) lead last

when reconnecting the battery.

WARNING

Disabling the generator set. Accidental starting can

cause severe injury or death. Before working on the

generator set or connected equipment, disable the generator

set as follows: (1) Move the generator set master switch to the

OFF position. (2) Disconnect the power to the battery charger.

(3) Remove the battery cables, negative (--) lead first.

Reconnect the negative (--) lead last when reconnecting the

battery. Follow these precautions to prevent starting of the

generator set by an automatic transfer switch, remote

start/stop switch, or engine start command from a remote

computer.

Hazardous voltage.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Operate the generator set only when

all guards and electrical enclosures

areinplace.

Moving rotor.

WARNING

Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage can

cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible

whenever electricity is present. Open the main circuit

breakers of all power sources before servicing the equipment.

Configure the installation to electrically ground the generator

set, transfer switch, and related equipment and electrical

circuits to comply with applicable codes and standards. Never

contact electrical leads or appliances when standing in water

or on wet ground because these conditions increase t he risk of

electrocution.

Short circuits. Hazardous voltage/current can cause

severe injury or death. Short circuits can cause bodily injury

and/or equipment damage. Do not contact electrical

connections with tools or jewelry while making adjustments or

repairs. Remove all jewelry before servicing the equipment.

Electrical backfeed to the utility. Hazardous backfeed

voltage can cause severe injury or death. Connect the

generator set to the building/campground electrical system

only through an approved device and after the

building/campground main switch is opened. Backfeed

connections can cause severe injury or death to utility

personnel working on power lines and/or personnel near the

work area. Some states and localities prohibit unauthorized

connection to the utility electrical system. Install a transfer

switch to prevent interconnection of the generator set power

and other sources of power.
