General Information
SMCS Code: 4490
Personal injury or death can result from high volt-
age.
When power generation equipment must be in op-
eration to m ake tests and/or ad j us tments, high
voltage and current are present.
Improper test equipment can fail and present a
high voltage shock hazard to its user.
Make sure the testing equipment is designed for
and correctly operated for high voltage and cur-
rent tests being made.
When servicing or repairing electric power gener-
ation equipment:
•
Make sure the unit is off-line (disconnected
from utility and/or other generators power
service) , and either locked out or tagged DO
NOT OPERATE.
•
Remove all fuses.
•
Make sure the generator engine is stopped.
•
Make sure all batteries are disconnected.
•
Make sure all capacitors are discharged.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
death. Make sure residual voltage in the rotor, sta-
tor and the generator is discharged.
When the engine-generator, or any source to
which the engine-generator is synchronized to, is
operating, voltages up to 600V are present in the
control panel.
Do not short these terminal with line voltage to
ground with any part of the body or any conduc-
tive material. Loss o f life or injury could result
from electrical shock or injury from molten met-
al.
Do not connect generator to a utility electrical dis-
tribution system unless it is isolated from the sys-
tem. Electrical feedback into the distribution sys-
tem can occur and could cause personal injury or
death.
Openandsecuremaindistributionsystemswitch,
or if the connection is permanent, install a double
throw transfer switch to prevent electrical feed-
back. Some generators are specifically approved
by a utility to run in parallel with the distribution
system and isolation may not be required. Always
check with your utility as to the applicable circum-
stances.
