2.11. Safety measures for operating modes
2.11.1. Mains supply operation
When utilising outdoors: Equip the plug sockets with a residual current protection
device (RCPD).
Follow the regulations regarding a residual current protection device.
2.11.2. Generator operation
Always ensure that the generator is one which is approved for commercial utilisation
and applications on construction sites.
Only utilise generators which operate at frequencies within the range of 44– 66Hz.
Always follow the generator operating instructions.
Always follow the DVGW Work Sheet GW308 and VDE0100 Part728 and country-
specific regulations and guidelines for the utilising generators.
Utilise a minimum of a 16 A fuse (slow-blow) as generator fuse/mains supply fuse.
Never operate with any additional loads on the same generator during fusion.
Nominal generator power
The required nominal generator power always depends on the following factors:
Power requirement for the largest fitting which is to be utilised
Connection conditions
Environmental circumstances
Generator type and/or its regulating, control characteristics
Since generators of different model series often indicate different regulating or control
characteristics, the suitability of a certain generator cannot be guaranteed, even when
the generator achieves the required nominal power according to the technical data
sheet.
In case of doubt e.g.with new procurement, please contact our Service Hotline (refer
to Chapter13.4.Service Hotline,P.55).
