4.4 Grounding Method

4.4.1 Ground Terminal

The generator ground terminal(1) is connected to the frame of
the generator, metal non-current-carrying generator parts and
the ground terminals of each receptacle.




4.4.2 Connections to a Building's Electrical System

Connections for standby power to a building’s electrical system must be made by a
qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power from utility power,
and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can allow electrical current from the

generator to backfeed into the utility lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company

workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage. Consult the utility company

or a qualified electrician.

Improper connections to a building’s electrical system can allow electrical current from the

utility company to backfeed into the generator. When utility power is restored, the generator

may explode, burn, or cause a fire in the building’s electrical system.


4.4.3 Ground System

AIRMAN’s generators have a system ground that connects generator frame components to the
ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The AC neutral wire is connected to the
system ground.
