When connecting the load bank cables to the ends of the generator output cable, what must you do?

Wrapping the connections with insulating tape is crucial for ensuring safety and reliability in the generator setup. This process serves several purposes. Firstly, it provides protection against accidental contact with live wires, reducing the risk of electric shock. Secondly, insulating tape helps to keep moisture and dirt away from the connections, which can cause corrosion or short circuits over time. Properly insulating these connections contributes to the overall efficiency and longevity of the equipment used with the generator.

While other methods such as securing connections with screws, using heat shrink tubing, or applying electrical gel can also serve to protect and secure electrical connections, insulating tape is specifically designed for this purpose and is widely used in many electrical applications for effective insulation.
