contacts ground evenly. Error may occur due to generator vibration.
(2) If it is necessary to run the machine on the inclined ground, make sure the side with radiator
upwards and inclination angle within 10°. Engine may face overheat due to bad working of water
temperature switch or mixed air in the cooling water.
(3) Keep the machine at least 200-300mm away from walls upon installation. Keep radiator air
vent and engine inlet/ exhaust vent upwards, preventing them from any jam. Otherwise,
temperature may rise or cooling airflow may be reduced, thus causes overheat of engine or
reduction of rotation speed. In addition, temperature of exhaust or increase of load may also lead
to shorter duration.
Don’t put any barrier on the exhaust outlet, vent, or muffler exhaust vent.
(4) Run the machine in the place free of moisture, dust and rubbish and with free air.
Electricity leakage causes electric shock. If air vent of radiator is jammed, overheat of engine
may occur.
(5) Place the generator near to working equipments like motor, lamps and etc.
Long line reduces efficiency because of large resistance and electricity loss. In addition, the
electricity fee turns more.

4. CONNECTION OF LOAD
4.1 Input power
[Attended operations]
If select the motor with improper capacity, it is possible to fail in starting the motor.
Decide the capacity of motor as per followings:
●According to load type, purpose, start mode, quantity, loading factor, features of generator, and
type of auto voltage regulator, the starting power is different.
Upon starting motor, its current is 5-8 times of rated current. The rapid rise of starting current
causes instant overload of generator. Then voltage of generator falls down rapidly. Therefore
sometimes it is difficult to start the motor.
It is recommended to discuss with manufacturer upon decision of capacity.
●User can calculate the capacity simply with below formulas.
○Input power of squirrel-cage asynchronous motor (kVA)
Input power (kVA)= Rated power of motor (kW)
Motor efficiency x Power factor
Power factor of motor: 0.8 Motor efficiency: 0.8
Input power (kVA)=1.56x rated power of motor (kW)
○Direct-starting squirrel-cage asynchronous motor (with knife switch)
Generator capacity = 2x input power of motor
○Direct-starting squirrel-cage motor (with contactor)
Generator capacity = 3x input power of motor
○Star/ triangular-starting squirrel-cage motor
Generator capacity = 1.2~1.5x input power of motor
●It is required to balance the load if more than one AC electric welder is used.
Therefore user shall distribute phases equally as per following:
Attended operation:
Input power of each welder shall be 1/3 below the output power of generator.
Over-load may cause motor damage.
Start the starter with no load, and never start the starter with load.
Start the bigger power starter first and then the smaller power starter.

4.2 The grounding of the protection unit
Electric Shock
(1) It will result in electric shock even death if connected with the output terminals.
■Cut off the breaker circuit of the control box and stop the engine before connecting the load.
■Close the output terminal cover and tighten the forcing screw when running the generator.
(2) Don't use the broken cable. Otherwise it will cause a shock accident. If the forcing screw isn't
tightened, the connected part will become hot and may cause fire hazard.
4.3 Grounding method
(1) The grounding of the generator
The grounding terminal of the outer box should be connected in this
way.
The section of the grounding cable should accord with the generator
capacity specified in the technical standard for the electric appliance.
Please use the grounding rod of whose resistance meets the electrical
standard.
If it classes to D grounding (No.3 grounding), ground it when resistance
is below 100Ω.(When the voltage is over 300V, please use C class grounding, and the grounding
resistance is below 10Ω).
(2) The grounding of the load appliance
Don't neglect the grounding of the load appliance, even if generator is equipped with
electrical-leakage protector.
The outer box of the load appliance should be grounded, as well as the generator. The section of
grounding cable depends on the relative electrical standard and the capacity of the load. Please
prepare the grounding rod for following resistance.
The grounding of the load appliance should be D class (No.3 grounding), and its resistance
should be below 500Ω.

(2) Information of common grounding
Implement grounding of outside box and loading equipments independently. However, common
grounding is acceptable if independent grounding is difficult.
①Select the right grounding cable with the maximum diameter.
②Select the right grounding cable with the minimum grounding resistance.
③Reliably screw down the terminals.
(4) Cautions when grounding the generator
●Grounding rod should be placed in the shady and wet place. Upper part of it shall be
completely in the soil.
●Clamp the cable securely to avoid catching the people who walk pass.
●Connect the extended cable as following:
Weld the extended cable or use the proper sleeve. Cover the connection part with insulation
tape. The connection part shall be above the ground. Please check it periodically.
●Keep the grounding rod at least 2m away from the lighting rod.
●Don’t use the same grounding cable with telephone.
●Don’t use the same grounding cable with others.
Screw on the bolts securely with a wrench when connecting the load equipment. Otherwise,
overheat may be resulted, even fire hazard.
4.4 Connection of load equipment
(1) The connection method of the three-phase four-wire terminal
Connect the cable with 3-phase joint of output terminal.
Don’t connect the terminal until you make sure the phase and
voltage of the load. There are terminal posts of three-phase four-wire on the panel.
If 3-phase motor rotates in the reverse direction, please exchange any two lines of three
terminals.

(2) The output power of the single-phase (230/240V)
There are two connection methods for single-phase power: single-phase receptacle and
three-phase joint, as indicated in the below drawing.
Please select the proper connection method.
Receptacle and breaker are two 15A circuits (W phase). Three-phase joint combines N-phase
with U,V,W-phase.
Regulate the voltage with voltage regulator.
1. Use of three-phase joint
Check whether AC current on the control panel is up to or over the rated current.
【Attention operation】
① Tolerable current of generator takes single-phase and three-phase current into account.
When AC voltage meter reading is 400/416, the single-phase output voltage is 230/240V.
②If select the single-phase output, output of single-phase is only 1/3 of three-phase output (unit:
KW). If select single-phase and three-phase at the same time, please limit output of each phase
below 1/3 of rated power (unit: KW).
Maximum power of single-phase is PN/3×0.8.
PNindicates the rated power.
③Prevent overloading. If unbalance load is necessary, difference between three-phase shall be
within 20%.
2. Use of receptacle
● Single-phase receptacle
Turn the breaker to ON to energize the receptacle.
●There are two single-phase receptacles on the panel.

● Prevent overload of generator of single-phase power is used via single-phase receptacle.
(3) When connect the load, you should take care of:
① Install a switch between output terminal and load to control the load connect. If supply the
electricity for the appliance by using the breaker directly, there will be fault with the breaker.
② When the generator is connected to the load, the breaker of the control box and junction plate
should be turn to OFF to stop the engine.
③The cable that connected to load can't be connected to the other output terminal.
④ After connecting with load, close the junction box, and tighten the forcing screw securely.
4.4 Selection of 3-phase cable
【Attended operations】
Please select the cable with proper diameter after taking into account tolerable current of cable
and distance from generator to loading equipments.
If load current exceeds tolerable current, lead is burnt to damage due to over-heat. In addition,
following conditions also can cause lead damage such as too long cable, super-small diameter,
excessively large voltage-drop of lead, reduction of input voltage of loading equipments, or
reduction of efficiency of loading equipments.
● Choose the possible cable length and section within the range of 5% of rated voltage, and
you can calculate the value of the potential "e" in the following formula:
