An Unbonded Portable Generator (neutral & earth unbonded) is an ideal application for the Residual Voltage Technology (RVT) , and when installed with an RCD our RVT provides 'additional layers of electrical protection' but without the need of an earth-stake.
The RVT :
- detects the 'Non dangerous 1st fault condition',
- ensures that a person cannot become part of the electrical circuit,
- detects an insulation breakdown where either L1 or L2 comes into contact with the equipment frame,
- a voltage rise of 43V will see automatic isolation of any fault condition.
The RVT provides clarity over the earthing debate issues. For further information on using RVT in unbonded portable generators, email us at; Info@wwest.com.au
Portable Generator electrical safety must be taken much more seriously than this image suggests
