5-2-8 CONNECTING TO DOMESTIC CIRCUITS (HOUSE WIRING)  
WARNING :  
All Robin generators are a neutral ungrounded type.  
If a generator is to be connected to residential or commercial power lines, such as a stand-by  
power source during power outage, all connections must be made by a licensed electrician.  
Failure in connection may result in death, personal injury, damage to generator, damage to appli-  
ances, damage to the building's wiring or fire.  
(a) When contnecting a Robin generator to a house wiring, generator output power must be taken from  
the 240V-4P receptacle.  
(b) Install a transfer switch.  
A transfer switch must be installed to transfer the load from the commercial power source to the  
generator. This switch is necessary to prevent accidents caused by the recovery from power outage.  
Use a transfer switch of the correct capacity. Install transfer switch between the meter and the fuse or  
AC breaker box.  
Caution : If the neutral wire of house wiring is grounded, be sure to ground the ground terminal of the  
generator. Otherwise an electric shock may occur to the operator.

5-3 GENERATOR OPERATION  
Fig. 5-11  
5-3-1 GENERATION of NO-LOAD VOLTAGE  
(1) When the generator starts running, the permanent magnet built-in to the rotor generates 3 to 6V of AC  
voltage in the main coil and condenser coil wound on the stator.  
(2) As one or two condensers are connected to the condenser coil, the small voltage at the condenser  
coil generates a minute current awhich flows through the condenser coil. At this time, a small flux is  
produced with which the magnetic force at the rotor’s magnetic pole is intensified. When this mag-  
netic force is intensified, the respective voltages in the main coil and condenser coil rise up. As the  
current aincreases, the magnetic flux at the rotor’s magnetic pole increases further. Thus the volt-  
ages at the main coil and condenser coil keep rising by repeating this process.  
(3) As AC current flows through the condenser coil, the density of magnetic flux in the rotor changes. This  
change of magnetic flux induces AC voltage in the field coil, and the diode rectifier in the field coil  
circuit rectifies this AC voltage into DC. Thus a DC current b flows through the field coil and magne-  
tizes the rotor core to generate an output voltage in the main coil.  
(4) When generator speed reaches 3000 to 3300 rpm, the current in the condenser coil and field coil  
increases rapidly. This acts to stabilize the output voltage of each coils. If generator speed further  
increases to the rated value, the generator output voltage will reach to the rated value.  
5-3-2 VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS UNDER LOAD  
When the output current cflows through the main coil to the appliance, a magnetic flux is produced and  
serves to increase current ain the condenser coil. When current aincreases, the density of magnetic  
flux across the rotor core rises. As a result, the current flowing in the field coil increases and the genera-  
tor output voltage is prevented from decreasing.

Two main coils are wound over stator core. Each main coil outputs half the rated power at the lower  
voltage (120V). These main coils are wound to be in the same phase. The full power switch reconnects  
these main coils in parallel or in series.  
Fig. 5-12 shows a circuit diagram. When the full power switch is set for single lower voltage indication  
(120V), the switch position is as indicated by the lower solid line in the diagram. Fig. 5-13 is a simplified  
representation of this circuit, showing the two main coils connected in parallel. In this case, the higher  
voltage (240V) at Rec. 3 cannot be taken out. Rec. 2 for the lower voltage can output up to the rated  
power (up to 30A if the rated current is over 30A), and Rec. 1 can output up to a total of 15A.  
When the full power switch is set for double voltage indication (120V/240V), the switch position is as  
indicated by the upper dotted line in Fig. 5-12. Fig. 5-14 is a simplified representation of this circuit,  
showing the two main coils connected in series. In this case, power can be taken simultaneously from  
the receptacles for the both voltages. Rec. 3 for the higher voltage can output up to the rated power, but  
Rec. 1 and Rec. 2 for the lower voltage can output only up to half the rated power each.  
Table 5-4 is a summary of the above explanation. Select the proper output voltage by full power switch in  
accordance with the appliance to be used.

5-4 OIL SENSOR  
5-4-1 DESCRIPTION  
* The oil sensor mainly functions to detect posi-  
tion of the surface of engine oil in the crankcase  
of engines for general use and to stop the en-  
gine automatically when the oil level goes down  
below the lower limit specified. This prevents sei-  
zure of engine from occurring due to insufficient  
amount of oil in the crankcase.  
OIL SENSOR  
* Since the sensor has been designed to consume  
a part of power supplied to the igniter to ener-  
gize its electronics circuit, any other external  
power supply is not necessary so that it can be  
mounted at the oil filler port.  
Fig. 5-15  
Introduction of newly developed sensing principle features super durability and no change with the  
passage of time as it does not use any moving part.  
Merits due to introduction of electrical conductivity detection are as follows ;  
1 It has resistance to mechanical shocks and property of no change with the passage of time as  
sensing element consists simply of electrodes having no moving parts.  
2 At the same time, it is capable of detecting the oil level stably as it is not influenced by engine  
vibrations.  
3 No error occurs due to foam and flow of the oil.  
4 Influence against the ignition system or the electronics units can be neglected because an electric  
current supplied to the sensor can be decreased.  
5-4-2 PRINCIPLE OF SENSING OIL LEVEL  
There is a great difference between electric resistance of air and that of oil. Since the resistance of air is  
far higher than that of oil, more electric current passes through the oil than through the air, although  
absolute value of the current is very small. The sensor detects this current difference and make use of it.  
The sensor judges the oil quantity, by comparing a current flowing across a pair of electrodes (inner and  
outer) with the reference, in such a way that if a current flows between the electrodes more than the  
reference, sufficient oil is in the crankcase, on the other hand, if a current flows less than the reference,  
oil is not sufficient. Since an electric current is flown to detect oil quantity, this is called the “electrical  
conductivity detection” type of sensor. The oil level to be detected is determined by the length of elec-  
trodes and their mounting positions with the engine.  
5-4-3 HOW IT OPERATES  
[Power supply]  
The sensor makes use of a part of primary power source for ignition of the engine (igniter) to drive the  
sensor circuit. Power to the sensor can usually be derived from the “stop button” by branching wires out.

[Judgement of oil level]  
When sufficient oil is in the crankcase, both of inner and outer electrodes are immersed in the oil through  
which current flows across the electrodes. The sensor judges that oil in the crankcase is sufficient. When  
oil level goes down and the inner electrode is exposed to the air due to consumption of oil, no current flow  
between the electrodes as air is considered to be electrically nonconductive. The sensor in this case  
judges that oil is insufficient.  
[Decision of oil shortage]  
Oil level at the electrodes may go down momentarily probably due to the engine being slanted or affected  
by vibration even if a sufficient oil is in the crankcase. For that reason, the sensor has an electronic timer  
circuit to prevent it from interpreting as short of oil when amount of oil is sufficient. The sensor has been  
designed so that the engine is to be stopped only when oil-shortage is detected for 5 seconds uninter-  
rupted. The timer employs an integration circuit and it is to be reset when the inner electrode is soaked in  
the oil again before the sensor decides it as oil-shortage. The oil level where the sensor decides as oil-  
shortage, when oil level goes down gradually, is called “threshold level”.  
[Automatic stop of engine]  
When the sensor decides as oil-shortage, it makes the engine to stop running automatically for protec-  
tion of engine. Once the stopping circuit is activated, it keeps functioning until it confirms that the engine  
has made a complete stop, then the circuit stops functioning automatically.

2 Detection circuit ..... This detects quantity of oil, sufficient or not, according to difference of electric  
resistance across inner and outer electrodes.  
3 Delay circuit ........... This his prevents the sensor from making an unnecessary stop of the engine  
by momentary lowering of the oil level due to the engine being slanted or  
affected by vibration in spite of sufficient oil in the crankcase.  
4 Stopping circuit ...... This automatically stops the engine running.  
5-4-5 CAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN ON HANDLING THE SENSOR  
(1) Oil sensor unit  
1 Be sure not to damage each wire. Broken or short-circuited power supply wires and/or a ground-  
ing wire in particular may lead to malfunction or breakdown.  
2 The sensor is not interchangeable from engine to engine because the sensor is to be exclusively  
installed individually in each engine employed.  
(2) Mounting and wiring of oil sensor unit  
1 Although this has been designed to have enough antinoise properties in practical use, do not  
route the sensor wirings in the vicinity of noise-generating sources such as ignition plugs or high  
voltage cords. This may cause malfunction or breakdown.  
2 Since capacity of power source is limited, current flown in the electronic circuit of the sensor is  
kept as low as possible. Be sure to use terminals with a high contact reliability of more than that of  
tinned terminals.  
(3) Operation of oil sensor  
1 If operating with the engine kept tilted, oil surface inside of the engine varies and the correct oil  
level can not to be detected which in turn obstructs the preventing function of engine seizure.  
Operate the engine by keeping it level.  
2 When starting the engine with an insufficient oil in the crankcase, engine starts once then it stops  
automatically after it runs for 5 seconds.  
3 When the engine has been stopped by the oil sensor, voltage remained in the electronic circuit  
prevents the sensor from being restarted for 3 seconds after the engine stop. Try to restart the  
engine after 3 seconds or more.

6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
1. Use extreme caution near fuel. A constant danger of explosion or fire exists.  
Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Do not smoke or use open flame near the fuel tank.  
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. If spilt, wipe it and let dry before starting the engine.  
2. Do not place inflammable materials near the generator.  
Be careful not to put fuel, matches, gunpowder, oily cloth, straw, and any other inflammables near the  
generator.  
3. Do not operate the generator in a room, cave or tunnel. Always operate in a well-ventilated  
area.  
Otherwise the engine may overheat and also, the poisonous carbon monoxide contained in the ex-  
haust gases will endanger human lives. Keep the generator at least 1 m (4 feet) away from structures  
or facilities during use.  
4. Operate the generator on a level surface.  
If the generator is tilted or moved during use, there is a danger of fuel spillage and a chance that the  
generator may tip over.  
5. Do not operate with wet hands or in the rain.  
Severe electric shock may occur. If the generator is wet by rain or snow, wipe it and thoroughly dry it  
before starting. Don’ t pour water over the generator directly nor wash it with water. If the generator is  
wet with water, the insulations will be adversely affected and may cause current leakage and electric  
shock.  
6. Do not connect the generator to the commercial power lines.  
This may cause a short-circuit or damage to the generator. Use a transfer switch (Optional parts) for  
connecting with indoor wiring.  
NOTE : The parts numbers of the transfer switches and of the plastic box to store them are as shown in

7. RANGE OF APPLICATIONS  
Generally, the power rating of an electrical appliance indicates the amount of work that can be done by it.  
The electric power required for operating an electrical appliance is not always equal to the output watt-  
age of the appliance. The electrical appliances generally have a label showing their rated voltage, fre-  
quency, and power consumption (input wattage). The power consumption of an electrical appliance is  
the power necessary for using it. When using a generator for operating an electrical appliance, the power  
factor and starting wattage must be taken into consideration.  
In order to determine the right size generator, it is necessary to add the total wattage of all appliances to  
be connected to the unit.  
Refer to the followings to calculate the power consumption of each appliance or equipment by its type.  
(1) Incandescent lamp, heater, etc. with a power factor of 1.0  
Total power consumption must be equal to or less than the rated output of the generator.  
Example : A rated 3000W generator can turn thirty 100W incandescent lamps on.  
(2) Fluorescent lamps, motor driven tools, light electrical appliances, etc. with a smaller power  
factor  
Select a generator with a rated output equivalent to 1.2 to 2 times of the power consumption of the  
load. Generally the starting wattage of motor driven tools and light electrical appliances are 1.2 to 3  
times lager than their running wattage.  
Example : A rated 250 W electric drill requires a 400 W generator to start it.  
NOTE1 : If a power factor correction capacitor is not applied to the fluorescent lamp, the more power  
shall be required to drive the lamps.  
NOTE2 : Nominal wattage of the fluorscent lamp generally indicates the output wattage of the lamp.  
Therefore, if the fluorescent lamp has no special indication as to the power consumption, effi-  
ciency should be taken into account as explained in ltem (5) on the following page.  
(3) Mercury lamps with a smaller power factor  
Loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times the indicated wattage during start-up.  
Example : A 400 W mercury lamp requires 800 W to 1200 W power source to be turned on. A rated  
3000 W generator can power two or three 400 W mercury lamps.  
(4) Initially loaded motor driven appliances such as water pumps, compressors, etc.  
These appliances require large starting wattage which is 3 to 5 times of running wattage.  
Example : A rated 900 W compressor requires a 4500 W generator to drive it.  
NOTE1 : Motor-driven appliances require the aforementioned generator output only at the starting. Once  
their motors are started, the appliances consume about 1.2 to 2 times their rated power con-  
sumption so that the excess power generated by the generator can be used for other electrical  
appliances.  
NOTE2 : Motor-driven appliances mentioned in items (3) and (4) vary in their required motor starting  
power depending on the kind of motor and start-up load. If it is difficult to determine the optimum  
generator capacity, select a generator with a larger capacity.

(5) Appliances without any indication as to power consumption  
Some appliances have no indication as to power consumption; but instead the work load (output) is  
indicated. In such a case, power consumption is to be worked out according to the numerical formula  
mentioned below.  
(Output of electrical appliance)  
= (Power consumpition)  
(Efficiency)  
Efficiencies of some electrical appliances are as follows :  
Single-phase motor................................ 0.6 to 0.75  
Fluorescent lamp ................................... 0.7 to 0.8  
The smaller the motor, the  
lower the efficiency.  
(
)
Example 1: A 40W fluorescent lamp means that its luminous output is 40W. Its efficiency is 0.7 and  
accordingly, power consumption will be 40 ÷ 0.7= 57W. As explained in Item (2), multiply  
this power consumption value of 57 W by 1.2 to 2 and you will get the figure of the neces-  
sary capacity of a generator. In other words, a generator with a rated output of 1000W  
capacity can light nine to fourteen 40 W fluorescent lamps.  
Example 2 : Generally speaking, a 400 W motor means that its work load is 400 W. Efficiency of this  
motor is 0.7 and power consumption will be 400÷0.7= 570 W. When this motor is used for  
a motor-driven tool, the capacity of the generator should be multiple of 570 W by 1.2 to 3 as  
explained in the ltem (3). 570 (W) x 1.2 to 3 = 684 (W) to 1710 (W)

NOTES : Wiring between generator and electrical appliances  
1. Allowable current of cable  
Use a cable with an allowable current that is higher than the rated input current of the load (electrical  
appliance). If the input current is higher than the allowable current of the cable used, the cable will  
become excessively heated and deteriorate the insulation, possibly burning it out. Table 7-2 shows  
cables and their allowable currents for your reference.  
2. Cable length  
If a long cable is used, a voltage drop occurs due to the increased resistance in the conductors de-  
creasing the input voltage to the load (electrical product). As a result, the load can be damaged. Table  
7-2 shows voltage drops per 100 meters of cable.

8-3 DC OUTPUT MEASURING  
Fig. 8-9  
Measurement of DC output is executed with the switch turned ON while the current is regulated at 8.3A  
by adjusting the load to the generator. If the voltage is within the range from 6V to 14V, the voltage output  
is normal.  
NOTE : If a battery is connected as a load to the generator, the DC output voltage will increase by  
approximately 1 to 2 V. Therefore, carefully observe the electrolyte level and do not overcharge  
the battery.

8-4 MEASURING INSULATION RESISTANCE  
Use a “Dr. Robin” generator tester in megger tester  
mode or use a megger tester to check the insula-  
tion resistance. Connect a megger tester to one  
of receptacle output terminals and the ground ter-  
minal, then measure the insulation resistance. An  
insulation resistance of 1 megohm or more is nor-  
mal. (The original insulation resistance at the time  
of shipment from the factory is 10 megohm or  
more.) If it is less than 1 megohm, disassemble  
the generator and measure the insulation resis-  
tance of the stator, rotor and control panel indi-  
vidually.  
Fig. 8-10  
NOTE : Turn on the no-fuse breaker before mea-  
surement.  
* STATOR

9. CHECKING FUNCTIONAL MEMBERS  
9-1 VOLTMETER  
Check the voltmeter if it is turned on by applying  
specific voltage. Voltmeter cannot be checked with  
circuit tester because its resistance is too large.  
1 Check that no disconnection nor short-circuit  
occurs with a tester, and the internal resistance  
is around 00k ohms normally.  
2 Turn on the commercial power supply input  
and check the indication.  
Fig. 9-1  
9-2 AC RECEPTACLES  
Using a “Dr. Robin” or a circuit tester, check continuity between the two terminals at the rear of the AC  
receptacles while the receptacle is mounted on the control panel. When continuity is found between the  
output terminals of the receptacle with a wire connected across these terminals, the AC receptacle is  
normal. When the wire is removed and no continuity is found between these terminals, the receptacles  
are also normal.

NOTE 2 : ”Continuity” means forward direction characteristics of the diode, and different from short  
circuit condition (in which a pointer of the tester goes out of its normal scale), shows resistance  
to some extent. When results of the checking indicates failure even in one section, replace  
with a new one.  
NOTE 3 : Simpson brand analogue testers have the characteristics as same as the digital circuit tester.  
9-8 OIL SENSOR  
(1) Disconnect two (2) wires comming from the  
sensor at the connection.  
(2) Loosen the sensor to remove it from the en-  
gine.  
(3) Plug the opening of oil filler hole (created after  
sensor is removed) with suitable means such  
as oil gauge.  
(4) Connect the removed wires again with the oil  
sensor.

(5) Start the engine with the oil sensor removed  
and confirm if ;  
a. Engine stops after 5 seconds which is normal, or  
b. Engine does not stop after more than 10 seconds which is unusual.  
NOTE : The sensor will not operate properly when wire is broken or poorly connected. Check the wires  
for correct connection. If it fails to stop within 5 seconds after the wirings have checked, the  
sensor is wrong. Replace the sensor with new one.

(1) Inspect the solenoid bracket. Check the bend  
angle of solenoid bracket. If the bracket is dis-  
torted, correct the angle with proper tool.  
(2) Check the wattage of load applied to the gen-  
erator. If the generator is loaded over the rated  
wattage, the engine speed can not be in-  
creased. Most induction loads such as elec-  
tric motor or electric tools or welding machine  
require three to five times large wattage of their  
ratings at starting. This starting wattage must

(1) Inspect the solenoid bracket. Check the bend  
angle of solenoid bracket. If the bracket is dis-  
torted, correct the angle with proper tool.  
(2) Check the wattage of load applied to the gen-  
erator. If the generator is loaded over the rated  
wattage, the engine speed can not be in-  
creased. Most induction loads such as elec-  
tric motor or electric tools or welding machine  
require three to five times large wattage of their

3. RANGE OF APPLICATIONS  
Generally, the power rating of an electrical appliance indicates the amount of work that can be done by it.  
The electric power required for operating an electrical appliance is not always equal to the output watt-  
age of the appliance. The electrical appliances generally have a label showing their rated voltage, fre-  
quency, and power consumption (input wattage). The power consumption of an electrical appliance is  
the power necessary for using it. When using a generator for operating an electrical appliance, the power  
factor and starting wattage must be taken into consideration.  
In order to determine the right size generator, it is necessary to add the total wattage of all appliances to  
be connected to the unit.  
Refer to the followings to calculate the power consumption of each appliance or equipment by its type.  
(1) Incandescent lamp, heater, etc. with a power factor of 1.0  
Total power consumption must be equal to or less than the rated output of the generator.  
Example : A rated 3000W generator can turn thirty 100W incandescent lamps on.  
(2) Fluorescent lamps, motor driven tools, light electrical appliances, etc. with a smaller power  
factor  
Select a generator with a rated output equivalent to 1.2 to 2 times of the power consumption of the  
load. Generally the starting wattage of motor driven tools and light electrical appliances are 1.2 to 3  
times lager than their running wattage.  
Example : A rated 250 W electric drill requires a 400 W generator to start it.  
NOTE1 : If a power factor correction capacitor is not applied to the fluorescent lamp, the more power  
shall be required to drive the lamps.  
NOTE2 : Nominal wattage of the fluorscent lamp generally indicates the output wattage of the lamp.  
Therefore, if the fluorescent lamp has no special indication as to the power consumption, effi-  
ciency should be taken into account as explained in ltem (5) on the following page.  
(3) Mercury lamps with a smaller power factor  
Loads for mercury lamps require 2 to 3 times the indicated wattage during start-up.  
Example : A 400 W mercury lamp requires 800 W to 1200 W power source to be turned on. A rated  
3000 W generator can power two or three 400 W mercury lamps.  
(4) Initially loaded motor driven appliances such as water pumps, compressors, etc.  
These appliances require large starting wattage which is 3 to 5 times of running wattage.  
Example : A rated 900 W compressor requires a 4500 W generator to drive it.  
NOTE1 : Motor-driven appliances require the aforementioned generator output only at the starting. Once  
their motors are started, the appliances consume about 1.2 to 2 times their rated power con-  
sumption so that the excess power generated by the generator can be used for other electrical  
appliances.  
NOTE2 : Motor-driven appliances mentioned in items (3) and (4) vary in their required motor starting  
power depending on the kind of motor and start-up load. If it is difficult to determine the optimum  
generator capacity, select a generator with a larger capacity.

(5) Appliances without any indication as to power consumption  
Some appliances have no indication as to power consumption; but instead the work load (output) is  
indicated. In such a case, power consumption is to be worked out according to the numerical formula  
mentioned below.  
(Output of electrical appliance)  
= (Power consumpition)  
(Efficiency)  
Efficiencies of some electrical appliances are as follows :  
Single-phase motor................................ 0.6 to 0.75  
Fluorescent lamp ................................... 0.7 to 0.8  
The smaller the motor, the  
lower the efficiency.  
(
)
Example 1: A 40W fluorescent lamp means that its luminous output is 40W. Its efficiency is 0.7 and  
accordingly, power consumption will be 40 ÷ 0.7= 57W. As explained in Item (2), multiply  
this power consumption value of 57 W by 1.2 to 2 and you will get the figure of the neces-  
sary capacity of a generator. In other words, a generator with a rated output of 1000W  
capacity can light nine to fourteen 40 W fluorescent lamps.  
Example 2 : Generally speaking, a 400 W motor means that its work load is 400 W. Efficiency of this  
motor is 0.7 and power consumption will be 400÷0.7= 570 W. When this motor is used for  
a motor-driven tool, the capacity of the generator should be multiple of 570 W by 1.2 to 3 as  
explained in the ltem (3). 570 (W) x 1.2 to 3 = 684 (W) to 1710 (W)

NOTES : Wiring between generator and electrical appliances  
1. Allowable current of cable  
Use a cable with an allowable current that is higher than the rated input current of the load (electrical  
appliance). If the input current is higher than the allowable current of the cable used, the cable will  
become excessively heated and deteriorate the insulation, possibly burning it out. Table 7-2 shows  
cables and their allowable currents for your reference.  
2. Cable length  
If a long cable is used, a voltage drop occurs due to the increased resistance in the conductors de-  
creasing the input voltage to the load (electrical product). As a result, the load can be damaged. Table  
7-2 shows voltage drops per 100 meters of cable.
