Chapter 5, Operation<br />
5 Operation<br />
This chapter provides information about operating the generator. The operation<br />
can differ depending on the generator version <strong>and</strong> equipment. Where applicable,<br />
such differences are mentioned in the concerning texts.<br />
Prior to operating the generator, read <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> the safety precautions<br />
listed in section 5.1 as well as the sections 5.2 through 5.6 below <strong>and</strong> observe<br />
the instructions <strong>and</strong> information given there.<br />
5.1 Safety information for operation<br />
This section summarizes all relevant safety precautions for operating the<br />
generator.<br />
DANGER<br />
Do not operate the generator in explosive environments.<br />
Further regulations on this have to be observed!<br />
Never connect the generator to the public electricity supply<br />
network or to any other systems for power generation. Risk of<br />
death, fire <strong>and</strong> destruction hazard!<br />
Never connect several generators to each other. Risk of death,<br />
fire <strong>and</strong> destruction hazard!<br />
The generator supplies highly dangerous voltages during<br />
operation! Never touch the generator or the devices connected<br />
to the generator with wet h<strong>and</strong>s during operation. Mortal<br />
danger by electric shock!<br />
Generator components may be very hot, not just during but also<br />
after operation. Burning hazard!<br />
The generator may only be operated with the protective covers<br />
for the drive mounted as specified. Risk of personal injury!<br />
Grounding the neutral conductor of the generator (N, midpoint<br />
conductor) supersedes the protective measure "protection<br />
separation" <strong>and</strong> should therefore be avoided. If the neutral<br />
conductor N shall be grounded anyway, this may only be<br />
performed by an electrically qualified person. In this case, a<br />
current-operated earth-leakage circuit breaker has to be<br />
connected on the load side of the generator output. The<br />
efficiency of the electrical protective measure has to be<br />
confirmed by an appropriate measurement.<br />
