GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that the
frame of generator and the external electrically
conductive parts of the generator be connected
to an approved earth ground. Local codes may
differ and require other grounding specifications.
For this purpose, please use the ground wire
that attaches from the frame to the generator
unit.
Using a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge)
stranded copper wire to the frame and to an
earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod
provides sufficient safety against shock.
However, local codes may differ. Contact a
local electrician to find out specifications for
grounding your generator.
Note: Grounding your generator is highly
recommended. It helps prevent electrical shock
if a ground fault condition exists in the
generator or in faulty connected electrical
devices. Also, because the generator is rotating
at high speeds, static electricity tends to buildup
within the unit. Grounding helps dissipate the
static electricity that often buildup in
underground devices.
