<strong>Synchronous</strong> <strong>Generators</strong> <strong>BG</strong> <strong>132</strong> / <strong>BG</strong> <strong>160</strong><br />
Chapter 5, Operation<br />
Proceed as follows to take the generator into operation <strong>and</strong> to connect the<br />
loads:<br />
1. If necessary, perform the daily check of the insulation monitoring unit. See<br />
section 5.6.3 on page 84.<br />
2. Make sure that no devices are connected to the generator.<br />
3. Switch off all devices which are to be connected later (switch in position<br />
"OFF" or "0"). Accident hazard by unsupervised starting devices!<br />
4. Start the engine. Wait until the engine has reached its rated speed.<br />
5. If necessary, switch on the circuit breakers in the control box (if equipped,<br />
see Figure 27) or in the control cabinet (position "ON" or "I").<br />
6. Connect (or switch on) the devices one after the other. First switch on the<br />
powerful devices with high current consumptions or high starting currents<br />
<strong>and</strong> then the less powerful devices.<br />
NOTE<br />
The total length of all connected extension cables may not<br />
exceed the following values:<br />
• 250 m max. at a conductor cross section of 2.5 mm 2<br />
• 100 m max. at a conductor cross section of 1.5 mm 2<br />
Devices driven by electric motors possibly require starting<br />
currents that are many times higher than the specified<br />
operating currents. In case of doubt, please contact the<br />
manufacturer.<br />
To ensure a safe operation of three-phase generators, the load<br />
currents should be distributed to all three phases as equal as<br />
possible.<br />
Take care that the maximum currents specified for each socket<br />
are not exceeded.<br />
