Checking the electrical safety
Checking electrical safety requires different measures that are only to be
taken by authorized personnel. In doing so the pertinent VDE provisions,
EN and DIN standards, in their valid versions, must be observed.
For use
at construction or assembly sites, the DGUV Information 203-032 edition of
May 2016 must be observed. It defines special protective measures and
rules of conduct for the commissioning and corresponding marking on the
device.
You must especially never use defective or damaged consumers, cable connec-
tions or plug connectors, etc. (current-consuming equipment). They must be
checked for proper condition at regular intervals (see Tab. 5-1 )
On-site operation
earthing
The "on-site operation" mode (see Chapter 8.2.1 ), has been designed for man-
ual or automatic (remote start) operation with one or more electrical consumers.
To protect against electric shock (current flow through your body), the protective
separation measure with equipotential bonding according to DIN VDE 0100-551:
2017-02 is used. The protective conductor system of the attached consumer
equipment takes over the function of the potential equalization device. The ter-
minal (Fig. 6-4 ) is connected with this Potential equalization device connected.
An earthing device is not needed in the "on-site operation" mode.
Your Generators corresponds to a Version A generator according to DGUV Infor-
mation 032-203 issued in May 2016 when it is in “on-site operation" mode. A cor-
responding marking can be found on the device (see Fig. 3-3 ):
We strongly recommend that you also comply with the requirements of DGUV In-
formation 203-032 for other purposes.
DANGER!
Dangerous electrical voltages will be present if several consumables are
connected up without a working personal safety device.
Mortal danger from electrocution
► Never operate multiple consumables from the Generators without additional
RCDs (residual current circuit breaker) for the second and each additional
consumable.
► Check the personal protection according to the check intervals given in Tab.
Supplying power to a building
earthing
In “building supply" mode (see Chapter 8.2.2 ) your Generators has been de-
signed as a replacement network supply for feeding into stationary installations
such as residential houses or public facilities. Suitable on-site protective mea-
sures must be implemented to protect against electric shock (current flow
through your body). The generator is earthed through the power supply cable's
and this earths the stationary system.
