Synchronous Generators BG 132 and BG 160

Synchronous Generators BG 132 / BG 160
Chapter 5, Operation
If the generator is not equipped with a control box ex works, adequate fuse
equipment has to be installed in an external control cabinet to protect the
connected circuits (sockets):
• Short-circuit tripping: characteristic "B"
• Protection against overcurrent: according to nominal current
• The neutral conductor has also to be fused.
5.4 Connection to an existing power distribution network (e.g.
house wiring)
The connection of generators to an existing power distribution network (e.g.
house wiring) may only be performed by a qualified electrically skilled person
and only after permission of the energy supply company. Observe all relevant
DIN and VDE regulations, especially DIN VDE 0100, part 728.6, as well as
possibly existing additional technical connection regulations of the energy
supply company.
For this purpose, considerable changes at the generator can be necessary which
may only be performed by a qualified electrically skilled person and after
consultation of the generator system manufacturer.
If the generator shall be connected to an existing power
distribution network (e.g. a house wiring), it has to be
ensured, that the system is completely and reliably
disconnected from the public electricity supply network of the
DANGER
energy supply company. Reverse feeding into the public
electricity supply network or network interconnection is not
allowed. Reverse feeding involves mortal danger by electric
shock for persons possibly working at the de-energized public
electricity supply network. Due to network interconnection
with the public electricity supply network, the generator can be
damaged, burn or cause fire in electrical cables of the system.
