Think safety first in
generator hook-up
Huron County is known for its
15 foot snow drifts, week long•
storms, and freezing . rain. Be -
of these, Huron County is
also known for power failures—
sometimes very costly. Standby
generators are used on many
farms as an answer is to those
costly blackouts. During a power
failure a farmer is often too con-
cerned about its effect on his live-
stock to think about setting u
g.
and handling the generator safe-
ly. There are certain require-
ments that the farmer should
consider when setting up his
system, county agricultural
engineer. Ron Fleming explains.
The generator .must 'be certi-
fied by: the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) and its in-
stallation 'needs to be inspected
and •approved by Ontario Hydro.
It is'also required that a .farmer
isolate his electrical system from
the distribution lines: A properly
rated double throw switch be-
tween these- two systems (stand-
by and regular) is mandatory. It
stops backfeed through the trans-
former which could electrocute
lfnemen:.)f it is .a temporary
hookup without an approved pole
,tep Cennector,'the generator will
electrify the- transmission lines
away from the farm.
' Other safety measures besides
those in electrical hookup Will aid
in preventing accidents. The
tractor horsepower should match
the generator need and capacity
(2 pto. horsepower provides ap-
proximately 1,000 watts' 'of
electricity'). Having the tractor
controls close to those of the
generator is a wise set-up' The
•generator' should be protected
from the weather.' . If it is indoors'
there should be a vent for the ex-
iaust fumes from the tractor.
,The generator - must be firmly
bolted to a solid base'=whether it
is mounted on a trailer, floor or ,
pad.
Ontario Hydro recommends
that the standby power system be
operated once a week to. ensure
its reliability during times of
need. The operator of the system
must always be, alert .and must
understand the woiking of the-.
system. Anyone who may be left
on the farm during a storm
should know how to operate the
standby po er system. Proper
and • very, caii eful installation of
the complete standby power
system and an- operator who
understands it will eliminate,the.
dangers involved: A power fail- .
ure can be very costly but caution
must be taken .with the 'standby, °
power system' for life is even
costlier. .
