GENERATOR USE<br />

CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM<br />

Connections for standby power to a building electrical system must be<br />

made by a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the<br />

generator power from utility power, and must comply with all<br />

applicable laws and electrical codes. A transfer switch, which isolates<br />

generator power from utility power, is available through authorized<br />

<strong>Honda</strong> generator dealers.<br />

Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow<br />

electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the utility lines.<br />

Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or others<br />

who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may<br />

explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is restored. Consult<br />

the utility company or a qualified electrician.<br />

GROUND SYSTEM<br />

<strong>Honda</strong> portable generators have a system ground that connects<br />

generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC output<br />

receptacles. The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral<br />

wire. If the generator is tested by a receptacle tester, it will not show<br />

the same ground circuit condition as for a home receptacle.<br />
