ARNINGARNING

Before connecting this generators to any building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch.

Serious injury or death may result without this transfer switch.

GA-2.5H FAMILIARIZATION Generator

The Multiquip GA-2.5H generator has been designed as a portable dual purpose power source for 60 Hz (single phase) lighting facilities, power tools, submersible pumps and other industrial and construction machinery.

These generators are mounted on rubber vibration isolators that have a steel base backplate which is attached to the protective steel pipe carrying frame. The protective carrying frame is made of steel tubing and fully wraps around the generators to protect against damage. See Figures 2A and 2B for the basic controls and indicators for the GA-2.5H generator.

This portable generator is supplied with a electrical

box

. To reduce vibration caused by the engine, the control

box is also placed on rubber isolators.

Control Box

The control box is provided with the following:

■

120V twist-lock receptacle, single phase. (S/N 5496763 and above)

control

Excitation System

The GA-2.5H generator uses a magnet attached to a flywheel to produce AC voltage from a lamp coil beneath the flywheel. As the magnetic passes the coil it produces approximately 19-22 AC volts.

This voltage (19-22 VAC) is then sent to the control box that contains three rectifying diodes:

z z z

The AC voltage will pass through the excitation diode that converts the voltage to DC power.

This DC power is then sent to the excitation windings housed within the main windings commonly called the "stator".

This voltage is then transferred into the rotor through induction. The rotor contains two diodes within it which rectify the DC voltage and send it out through the main windings, as AC voltage.

Alternator

The alternator, a brushless revolving-field type, is permanently aligned to the engine through rigid coupling.

Engine

This generator is powered by a 5.5 HP, air-cooled, 4-stroke HONDA gasoline engine. Reference Table 2, for engine specifications.

To determine the running wattage for your load, multiply the running wattage as indicated by steps 1, 2, and 3 below:

1. INCANDESCENT LOADS frequency requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the generators for operating the equipment.

Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the equipment is its rated output. Equipment may require 130— 150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate, as the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor and

when connecting loads.

Lights, heaters and similar appliances. Total the running wattage and multiply by 1. Example: 29 light bulbs @ 100W each = 2.9 KW use a 3 KW generator.

Drills and other small power tools. Total the running wattage and multiply by 2. Example: A 1 inch drill runs at 1 KW use a 2 KW generator.

Submersible pumps, table saws etc. Total the running wattage and multiply by 3. Example: A conveyor belt runs at 8 KW use a 24 KW generator.

generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so that the exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of nearby homes.

The installation site must be relatively free from moisture and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration of the insulation and will result in short circuits and grounding.

Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear to engine and alternator parts.

Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the generator inside tunnels and caves. The engine exhaust contains noxious elements.

Indoor Installation

Exhaust gases from gasoline engines are extremely poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed indoors the exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine should be installed at least two feet from any outside wall. Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine to heat excessively and possibly burn the valves.

Eliminate the danger of deadly carbon monoxide gas. Remember that exhaust fumes from any gasoline engine are very poisonous if discharged in a closed room, but harmless if allowed to mix with the outside air. If the generator is installed indoors, you must make provisions for venting the engine exhaust to the outside of the building.

Generator Grounding

To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH ground. Always use the ground terminal on the generator to ground the generator.

Article 250 (Grounding) of the National Electrical Code (NEC) provides guide lines for proper grounding and specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Mounting

The generator should always be mounted on a flat level surface to isolate vibration of the generator when it is running. DO NOT place the generator on slopes, the possibility exists that the generator could slide.

NEC articles 250-64(b) and 250-66 set the following grounding requirements:

1. Use one of the following wire types to connect the generator to earth ground.

a. Copper - 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) or larger. b. Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger.

2. When grounding the generator (Figure 3) connect the ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on the generator and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the ground cable to earth ground.

3. NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground rod should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.

GA-2.5H A.C. GENERATOR — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #5 (03/04/08) — PAGE 19

GA-2.5H — INSTALLATION

Connecting the Ground

The nut and ground terminal on the generator should always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground. The ground cable should be #8 size wire minimum.

At the generator, connect the terminal of the ground cable between the lock washer and the nut (Figure 4) and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the ground cable to a suitable earth ground (ground rod).

Ground Power Tools

When using power tools or electrical equipment requireing AC power from the generator, make sure connecting (power tool) cable (Figure 5) has a ground as shown in Figure.

Figure 5. Ground Cables/Plugs

Extension Cable

When electric power is to be provided to various tools or loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop between the generator and point of use (load) is held to a minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 4) as a guide for selecting proper cable size.
