2.2 Generator Set Safety Code

Before operating the generator set, read the manuals and become familiar with them and the equipment.

Safe and efficient operation can be achieved only if the equipment is properly operated and maintained.

Many accidents are caused by failure to follow fundamental rules and precautions.

WARNING

Electrical Generating Equipment

Incorrect operation and maintenance can result in severe personal injury or death.

Read and follow all Safety Precautions, Warnings, and Cautions throughout this manual and the

documentation supplied with the generator set.

2.3 Electrical Shocks and Arc Flashes Can Cause Severe Personal

Injury or Death

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard

Voltages and currents present an electrical shock hazard that can cause severe burns or death.

Contact with exposed energized circuits with potentials of 50 Volts AC or 75 Volts DC or higher

can cause electrical shock and electrical arc flash. Refer to standard NFPA 70E or equivalent

safety standards in corresponding regions for details of the dangers involved and for the safety

requirements.

Guidelines to follow when working on de-energized electrical systems:

• Use proper PPE. Do not wear jewelry and make sure that any conductive items are removed from

pockets as these items can fall into equipment and the resulting short circuit can cause shock or

burning. Refer to standard NFPA 70E for PPE standards.

• De-energize and lockout/tagout electrical systems prior to working on them. Lockout/Tagout is

intended to prevent injury due to unexpected start-up of equipment or the release of stored energy.

• De-energize and lockout/tagout all circuits and devices before removing any protective shields or

making any measurements on electrical equipment.

• Follow all applicable regional electrical and safety codes.

In summary:

• Do not tamper with or bypass interlocks unless you are authorized to do so.

• Understand and assess the risks - use proper PPE.

• Make sure that an accompanying person who can undertake a rescue is nearby.
