GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

y In terms of protection against dangerous contact
voltage on non-live parts, the generator meets the
requirements of the currently valid European Directive
HD 60364-4-4 for protection by electrical isolation. The
requirements of this directive are entered into national
electro-technical norms of the given country (in the
Czech Republic this is norm ČSN 33 2000-4-41 including
valid annexes, if they exist).
y Norm EN ISO 8528-13, which specifies safety require-
ments for generators, requires that the user's manual of
the generator includes the information that the genera-
tor does not need to be grounded in the case where the
generator meets the aforementioned requirements for
protection by electrical isolation.
y The grounding terminal with which the generator is
equipped is used for unifying the protection between
the circuits of the generator and the connected applian-
ce in the case where the connected appliance has Class I.
protection or the appliance is grounded, where it is then
also necessary to ground the generator for the require-
ments of directive HD 60364-4-4 (in the Czech Republic
it is norm ČSN 33 2000-4-41) to be met. Grounding must
be performed using norm compliant grounding devices
and must be carried out by a person with the required
professional qualifications based on the conditions
where the generator is located and operated.
USING AN EXTENSION CORD
FOR CONNECTING APPLIANCES
TO THE GENERATOR
 The load capacity of the cables depends on the
resistance of the conductor. The longer the cable used,
the greater must be the cross-section of the conductor
(wire/s). Due to electrical power losses, the greater the
length of a cable, generally the lower is the operating
performance at its end.
 According to norm EN ISO 8528-13, when using extensi-
on cords or mobile distribution networks, the resistance
value must not exceed 1.5 Ω. The total length of cables
with a conductor cross-section of 1.5 mm
nal current in the range > 10 A to ≤ 16 A) must not exce-
ed 60 m. With a conductor cross-section of 2.5 mm
a nominal current in the range > 16 A do ≤ 25 A) the len-
gth of the cable must not exceed 100 m (with the excep-
tion of cases, where the generator meets the require-
ments of protection by electrical isolation in accordance
with annex B (B.5.2.1.1.) of norm EN ISO 8528-13.
According to the Czech norm ČSN 340350, the nominal
length of a flexible extension cable with a wire cross-

-section of 1.0 mm Cu at a nominal current of 10 A (2.3
kW) must not be longer than 10 m, an extension cable
with a core cross-section of 1.5 mm
current of 16 A (3.68kW) must then be no longer than
EN
50 m. According to this norm, the total length of a fle-
xible power cable including extension cords should
not exceed 50 m (if, for example, this is an extension
cord with a cross-section of 2.5 mm
 For reasons of cooling, the extension cord must not be
wound up or wound on to a spool, but must be fully
unwound along its entire length in order to be cooled
by the temperature of the ambient environment.
DRAWING DIRECT CURRENT
(DC 12 V, 8.3 A)
 The 12 V/8.3 A DC power socket (see description of the
control panel) is intended for recharging 12 V lead car
batteries with a capacity of at least 70 Ah with the use
of 12 V charging cables with crocodile clips.
1. Turn off the motor vehicle, turn off all turned on
electrical devices inside the vehicle and take the
key out of the vehicle's ignition and turn off the
generator if it is running.
2. Insert the charging cables into the 12 V DC socket
on the generator.

3. Before connecting the charging cables to the car
battery terminals, first identify which battery ter-
minal is grounded, i.e. connected to the chassis
(frame) of the vehicle.
On most modern vehicles the grounded negative
electrode of the battery is marked with the symbol
"-". In this case, first connect the alligator clip with
the red charging cable to the non-grounded posi-
tive pole of the battery ("+") and then connect the
alligator clip of the black charging cable ("-") to the
chassis (frame) of the vehicle. Do not connect the
alligator clip to the carburettor, fuel line or sheet
metal parts of the chassis, always use massive solid
metal parts of the frame or the engine block.
