WARNING
The GFCI may not function unless the generator is properly
grounded. Follow the correct procedure specified in the section
labeled “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection
These generators are equipped with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters) 120V duplex receptacles for protection against the hazards
of electrical shock from defective attachments such as, tools, cords,
and cables.
These generators are equipped with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters) 120V duplex receptacles for protection against the hazards
of electrical shock from defective attachments such as, tools, cords,
and cables.
A GFCI is a device that interrupts electricity from either the utility or
generator by means of a special type of circuit breaker if a fault current
flow to the ground occurs.
A GFCI can be used only with generators that have the neutral wire
internally bonded to the frame, and the frame properly grounded to the
earth. A GFCI will not work on generators that do not have the neutral
wire bonded to the frame, or on generators which have not been properly
grounded. All BE generators have internally bonded ground wires. A
GFCI will not work if the unit is not properly grounded.
For additional protections against shock hazards due to defective
equipment attached to the twist-lock receptacles, consider the use of
a GFCI on each of these receptacles as well.
GFCI and GFCI protected cord sets and cables may be purchased from
local electrical supply houses.
