CONNECTING THE GROUND
Consult with local Electrical and Safety Codes for proper
connection based on condition of use.
EXAMPLE of how to ground the unit if the condition
of use requires such a device:
The ground terminal on the generator should always be
used to connect the generator to a suitable ground when
required.
Either copper or aluminum wire can be used as the ground
cable. Cable size is determined by the maximum amperage
of the generator. Reference Conductor Grounding Table,
Article 250 of the NEC handbook.
Connect one end of the ground cable terminal to the
generator ground point (Figure 2). Connect the other end
of the ground cable to a suitable earth ground (ground rod).
