cables—Disconnect negative (-) cable first and
reconnect last.
CAUTION
Disconnect battery charger from AC source
before disconnecting battery cables. Otherwise,
disconnecting cables can result in voltage spikes
damaging to DC control circuits of the set.
Accidental starting of the generator set can cause
severe personal injury or death. Prevent acciden-
tal starting by disconnecting the negative (-)
cable from the battery terminal.
Each of the operations described in this section
should be done only by persons trained and
experienced in electrical maintenance. Improper
procedures may result in property damage,
bodily injury or death.
Connecting the genset AC electrical system involves:
• Installation of transfer switch
• Generator output voltage selection
• Load cable connection
• Standard and optional AC equipment connec-
tions (e.g., control box heater, coolant heater,
etc.).
Local regulations often require that wiring connec-
tions be made by a licensed electrician, and that the
installation be inspected and approved before opera-
tion. All connections, wire sizes, materials used, etc.
must conform to the requirements of electrical codes
in effect at the installation site. Contractor guidelines
for appropriate conduit and wire sizing for this gener-
ator set can be found by referring to Figure 4-1.
Improper wiring can cause a fire or electrocution,
resulting in severe personal injury or death and/
or property and equipment damage.
Before starting the genset, check to make sure that
all electrical connections are secure, and that all
wiring is complete. Replace and secure any access
panels that have been removed during installation.
Check that the load cables from the genset are prop-
erly connected.
Table 4-3
Backfeed to utility system can cause electrocu-
tion or property damage. Do not connect to any
building electrical system except through an
approved device and after building main switch is
opened.
4.6 AC Wiring
4.6.1 Generator Voltage Connections
The available generator output voltages and
maximum current ratings are specified on the genera-
tor set nameplate. Line-to-neutral voltage is always
the lower voltage shown and line-to-line voltage is the
higher rating.
These generators can be configured to the name-
plate voltages as shown on the Reconnection
Diagram located in the generator manual supplied
with this equipment. Many of the voltages listed will
require reconfiguration of the generator output leads
on the connection terminal block. This reconfiguration
must only be done by service personnel that are
trained and experienced to perform electrical installa-
tion. The generator set was adjusted to produce a
specified voltage during production verification testing
