Because safety matters
EUROPOWER
does not only provide you with electricity, but
also takes care of your safety! Protect yourself
and your genset by means of following options *
and assure yourself of a carefree use.
Leave
your personal protection and that of your genset
to us!
* If you use an insulation
protection, an earth leakage protection becomes
redundant!

THERMAL-MAGNETIC PROTECTION
 The thermal-magnetic
protection protects the alternator against
overload and short-circuit.
In
case of overload, the thermal part of the
protection shall switch off after a certain period
of time. The time needed by the protection to
switch off depends on the height of the overload:
the higher the overload, the shorter the time
needed by the thermal protection to switch
off.
In case of short-circuit, the
magnetic part of the protection shall switch off
immediately. Important here is the right choice of
protection and the diameter and maximum admitted
length of the extension cables to guarantee the
switching off in case of short-circuit. Contact us
for more information!
EARTH
LEAKAGE PROTECTION
| The earth leakage
protection protects persons against electric
shocks in case of indirect contact (e.g. a
damaged conductor touches the metal housing of
an appliance). |
 |
The earth leakage
protection detects an electricity leakage and
switches off when the leakage current exceeds
10, 30, 100 or 300 mA and prevents in this way
electrocution. An earth pin is necessary in most
cases! |
INSULATION
PROTECTION
 An insulation protection
constantly measures the resistance (in Ohm)
between the earth (in our case engine
block/alternator housing) and the alternator
windings. When there is no failure and thus no
risk for the user, the resistance between earth
and windings shall be very high. When an
insulation failure occurs, the resistance shall
decrease. If this failure constitutes a danger for
the user (resistance <100 kOhm) the current
shall be interrupted immediately. It is also
possible to stop the engine. An earth pin is
needless, which makes the insulation protection
extremely useful for mobile gensets!
Moreover,
the EUROPOWER
insulation protection
„IB-Protector“ has
following functions: overvoltage and undervoltage
protection, over- and underfrequency protection,
power relay control and operating protection by
means of a code.

 PRACTICAL WORLD 2004
From the 14th till the 17th of March,
Cologne becomes the setting again for the annual
‚Practical World’ fair. Of course, EUROPOWER shall be
present again at this international trade fair
(tools + Do-It-Yourself). Remember our booth
number D039/041 in hall 14.2.
In short, this
will be the ideal occasion to get to know each
other and our products! More information on this
topic in our next newsletter.
