GENERATORS
If the series connection (Fig.15
Ref. 3) is used, to draw a voltage of 115V / 50Hz or
120V / 60Hz, the current must not exceed 50% of the
rated current.
- Ensure that the sum of the loads to be supplied does not
exceed the nominal power of the electric generator.
- The gen-set is provide of a breaker in order to cut off the
output voltage in case of overload or short circuit.

Generator - Mains switching
A switch should be placed on the line to switch the user
appliances from the generator to an external power line.
The switch should be dimensioned according to the size
of the loads: a general diagram is shown in fig. 17.

For deplacing and lifting of the genset use only the proper
lifting hook.
DANGER
To hook the genset to places different from that
indicated could cause damages to the genset itself
and became a danger for operators.
