Wacker Neuson generator Model
GV 7000A
is designed to operate single-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230 VAC. Model
GV
7003A
is designed to operate single phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 230VAC and/or three-phase, 50 Hertz appliances running at 400VAC. Both single and three phase sides of the generator may be run at the same time.
NOTICE
:
Do not exceed the power output of the generator. Damage to tools or generator will occur. See
Technical Data
.
Check the nameplate or label provided on tools and appliances to make sure their power requirements are met by the power output of the generator. If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance, contact the tool manufacturer for wattage requirements.
Some appliances and tools require a surge of current when starting.
This means that the amount of power needed to initially start the equipment is larger than the power required to keep it running. The generator must be capable of supplying this "surge" current. Other types of appliances require more power than is actually stated on their nameplate.
The information in “Approximate Starting Power Requirements” is offered only as a general guideline to help you determine power requirements for different types of equipment. Check with your nearest
Wacker Neuson dealer, or contact the manufacturer or dealer of the tool or appliance, if you have questions regarding power requirements.
NOTICE
:
DO NOT exceed the rated current limit of any receptacle.
NOTICE
:
If a tool or appliance does not reach full speed within a few seconds after it is switched on, turn it off immediately to avoid damage.
Approximate Starting Power Requirements
• Incandescent lights and appliances such as irons and hot plates, which use a resistive-type heating element, require the same wattage to start and run as is stated on their nameplates.
• Fluorescent and mercury lamps require 1.2–2 times their stated wattage to start.
• Electrical motors and many types of electrical tools often require a large starting current. The amount of starting current depends on the type of motor and its use.
• Most electrical tools require 1.2–3 times their stated wattage for starting.
• Loads such as submersible pumps and air compressors require a very large force to start. They need as much as 3–5 times the wattage stated on the nameplate in order to start.
24 wc_tx001624gb.fm
GV 7000A / 7003A Operation
4.3
Installation
If the wattage is not given for a particular tool or appliance, it can be calculated by multiplying its voltage and amperage requirements:
Single Phase: VOLTS x AMPS = WATTS
Three Phase: VOLTS x AMPS x 1.732 x 0.8 = WATTS
Place the generator in an area where it will not be exposed to rain, snow, or direct sunlight. Make sure it is positioned on firm, level ground, so it will not slide or shift. Position the engine exhaust away from areas where people may be present.
The surrounding area must be free from water and moisture. All components must be protected from excessive moisture.
wc_tx001624gb.fm
25
Operation
4.4
Generator Derating
GV 7000A / 7003A
All generators are subject to derating for altitude and temperature.
Internal combustion engines, unless modified, run less efficiently at higher altitudes due to the reduction of air pressure. This translates into a lack of power and thus reduction in generator output.
Temperature affects both engine and generator performance. As temperature increases, an engine will run less efficiently and more resistance will be found in electrical components. Therefore, as the temperature increases, the output of the generator decreases. Altitude also affects the cooling capacity of air—the higher the altitude the less dense the air is and thus the lower its ability to transfer heat.
For every increase in altitude of 500 m (1650 ft.) above 1000 m (3300 ft.), the output of the generator will be reduced by 3%. For every increase of 5° C (9° F) in ambient temperature above 40° C (104° F), the output of the generator will be reduced by 3%. Use the tables shown for altitude and temperature deration factors. It may be necessary to consider both altitude and ambient temperature deration factors to determine true generator output.

Grounding the Generator
Operation
CAUTION
The neutral of this machine is not connected to ground. Under standard operating conditions,
do not connect the frame PE stud to earth ground.
Refer to local codes if machine is used to power a building or similar distribution system.
wc_gr001286
4.6
Operating Heavy Loads
Limit operations requiring the maximum rated output of the generator to 20–30 minutes. For continuous operation, do not exceed the continuous rated output of the generator. Refer to the Generator
Technical Data specification chart.

Operation
4.7
Use of Extension Cords
GV 7000A / 7003A
When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a voltage loss occurs—the longer the cord, the greater the voltage loss. This results in less voltage being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current draw or reduces performance. A cord with a larger cross section will reduce the voltage loss.
NOTICE
:
Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat.
Use only tough rubber-sheathed cable in accordance with IEC 245-4.
Damaged cords can cause electric shock. Electric shock can cause serious injury or death. DO NOT use worn, bare, or frayed cords.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
WARNING
Do not exceed the rating of the cord.
Contact the cord manufacturer if in doubt about cord use.
Choose the cord size from the
Minimum Extension Cord Size Table
or calculate minimum cord size using the
Minimum Extension Cord Size
Graph
. The X axis of the graph represents A x m (Ampere x meter) values. The Y axis represents wire size in mm
2
. Multiply the operating current for the load in amps (A) by the desired extension cord length in meters (m). Find the result along the X axis. Move up the graph until you reach the appropriate sloped line for your application. Move to the
Y axis; this is the recommended minimum cord size.
Example:
For a 3-phase, 400V application, if the operating current for the load is
15 A, and the desired extension cord length is 100 m, then:
15 A x 100 m = 1500 A x m.
1500 A x m = 2.5 mm
