VOLTAGE
The Permanent Magnet Alternator (PMA) generates a variable
voltage between 250V and 400V. Depending on the type of
installation, this is converted by a DC PowerCube or an AC
Power Module for Genverter
FREQUENCY
The Permanent Magnet Alternator output frequency is
considerably higher than in in common alternating current
installation. The DC PowerCube and WP-PMG (Power Module
for Genverter), however, are designed to generate very stable
DC and AC outputs from the PMA output.
CURRENT
The maximum allowed current at the specified voltage and
power factor.
PHASE
The number of live wires running from the genverter.
WEIGHT
The net dry weight (approximately) in kg. This is without fuel,
oil, cooling liquid, packaging and external installation
equipment.
CE-MARKING
The “CE” symbol shows that the Genverter is built according to
European Community safety regulations. Refer to EC
Declaration of Conformity for more details.
Safety is also a matter of installation, utilization and operating
conditions. See also 2.1.
It is recommended to consult the manufacturer before
changing a factory setting. If the Genverter involved is not new,
former users may have changed the settings. Check the settings
when there is any doubt.

General
When correctly installed and used in normal circumstances this
Genverter fulfils EC safety regulations. This Genverter could be
part of an installation or could be used in a way that additional
regulations of the EC or other authorities have to be taken into
account. Refer to the Declaration of Conformity in this manual.
Circumstances could make it also necessary to take additional
measures. Be aware of wet conditions and hazardous
environments caused by explosive gases etc.
2.1.3
Organizational measures
The user must always:
have access to the user's manual;
be familiar with the contents of this manual. This
applies in particular to this chapter, Safety Guidelines
and Measures.
