DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.
ONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poison.

Operation GV 7000A/7003A

4. Operation

4.1 Determining Power Requirements

Wacker generator Model GV 7000A is designed to operate single­phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230 VAC. Model GV 7003A is
designed to operate single phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230VAC and/or three-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 400VAC. Both single and three phase sides of the generator may be run at the same time.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the power output of the generator. Damage
to tools or generator will occur. See Technical Data.
Check the nameplate or label provided on tools and appliances to make sure their power requirements are met by the power output of the generator. If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance, contact the tool manufacturer for wattage requirements.
Some appliances and tools require a surge of current when starting. This means that the amount of power needed to initially start the equipment is larger than the power required to keep it running. The generator must be capable of supplying this "surge" current. Other types of appliances require more power than is actually stated on their nameplate.
The information in “Approximate Starting Power Requirements” is offered only as a general guideline to help you determine power requirements for different types of equipment. Check with your nearest Wacker dealer, or contact the manufacturer or dealer of the tool or appliance, if you have questions regarding power requirements.
CAUTION: DO NOT exceed the rated current limit of any receptacle.
CAUTION: If a tool or appliance does not reach full speed within a few
seconds after it is switched on, turn it off immediately to avoid damage.
wc_tx000273gb.fm 14
Page 17
GV 7000A/7003A Operation
Approximate Starting Power Requirements
Incandescent lights and appliances such as irons and hot plates, which use a resistive-type heating element, require the same wattage to start and run as is stated on their nameplates.
Fluorescent and mercury lamps require 1.2–2 times their stated watt­age to start.
Electrical motors and many types of electrical tools often require a large starting current. The amount of starting current depends on the type of motor and its use.
Most electrical tools require 1.2–3 times their stated wattage for start­ing.
Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force to start. They need as much as 3–5 times the wattage stated on the nameplate in order to start.
If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance, it can be calculated by multiplying its voltage and amperage requirements:
Single Phase: VOLTS x AMPS = WATTS
Three Phase: VOLTS x AMPS x 1.732 x 0.8 = WATTS

Page 18
Operation GV 7000A/7003A

4.2 Outdoor Installation

Place the generator in an area where it will not be exposed to rain, snow, or direct sunlight. Make sure it is positioned on firm, level ground, so it will not slide or shift. Position the engine exhaust away from areas where people may be present.
If operating the generator inside a tunnel or deep trench, make sure there is adequate ventilation. Precautions similar to those required when operating indoors may be necessary.
The surrounding area must be free from water and moisture. All components must be protected from excessive moisture.

4.3 Indoor Installation

DANGER
If the generator must be installed indoors, adequate ventilation or exhaust hoses must be provided. When venting exhaust fumes, make sure the exhaust piping is large enough to prevent excessive back pressure to the engine. Back pressure reduces engine efficiency and may cause the engine to overheat.
Exhaust gas from the engine contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure to carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. Never run the generator indoors or in an enclosed area unless adequate ventilation, through such items as exhaust hoses or fans, is provided.
When installed indoors, steps to prevent fire and explosion such as providing a good, earthen ground, removing all flammable materials near the generator, and using only electrical cables in good condition,
must be observed. See Operating Safety.
wc_tx000273gb.fm 16
Page 19
GV 7000A/7003A Operation

4.4 Generator Derating

All generators are subject to derating for altitude and temperature. Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output. Temperature affects both engine and generator performance. As temperature increases, an engine will run less efficiently and more resistance will be found in electrical components. Therefore, as the temperature increases, the output of the generator decreases. Altitude also affects the cooling capacity of air—the higher the altitude the less dense the air is and thus the lower its ability to transfer heat.
For every increase in altitude of 500 m (1650 ft.) above 1000 m (3300 ft.), the output of the generator will be reduced by 3%. For every increase of 5° C (9° F) in ambient temperature above 40° C (104° F), the output of the generator will be reduced by 3%. Use the tables shown for altitude and temperature deration factors. It may be necessary to consider both altitude and ambient temperature deration factors to determine true generator output.

Operation GV 7000A/7003A

4.5 Use of Extension Cords

When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance. A cord with a larger cross section will reduce the voltage loss.
CAUTION: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat.
Use only tough rubber-sheathed cable in accordance with IEC 245-4.
Damaged cords can cause electric shock. Electric shock can cause serious injury or death. DO NOT use worn, bare, or frayed cords. Replace damaged cords immediately.
WARNING
Do not exceed the rating of the cord.
Contact the cord manufacturer if in doubt about cord use.
Choose the cord size from the Minimum Extension Cord Size Table or calculate minimum cord size using the Minimum Extension Cord Size Graph. The X axis of the graph represents A x m (Ampere x meter)
values. The Y axis represents wire size in mm2. Multiply the operating current for the load in amps (A) by the desired extension cord length in meters (m). Find the result along the X axis. Move up the graph until you reach the appropriate sloped line for your application. Move to the Y axis; this is the recommended minimum cord size.
Example:
For a 3-phase, 400V application, if the operating current for the load is 15 A, and the desired extension cord length is 100 m, then:
15 A x 100 m = 1500 A x m.

1500 A x m = 2.5 mm

5.6 Engine Speed

See Graphic: wc_gr001300
Generators require a fixed engine speed to maintain the correct voltage. Engine speed is controlled by a governor which automatically adjusts to varying loads on the engine to maintain a constant speed of 3000 rpm. There is no throttle control.
To set the engine to the proper speed:
Turn the speed adjusting screw (a) in or out to obtain a no-load speed of 3100 rpm.
CAUTION: Setting the engine speed too high or too low may damage tools and other appliances attached to the generator.
Adjust engine to the no load or idle speed per the Technical Data.
5.6.1 Start the engine and allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature.
5.6.2 Turn the throttle stop screw (a) in to increase speed, out to decrease speed. Make sure the throttle lever is touching the stop screw before measuring rpm.
