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. .
