GPA: Generator back feed can kill a lineman


Guam Power Authority is asking people who own and are operating generators to follow their request in order to prevent serious injury or death:

Please SHUT OFF THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER(S) OF ALL THE HOUSE(S) OR BUILDING(S) THAT ARE CONNECTED TO YOUR GENERATOR. This will prevent a “back feed” of power from your generator unit into the Island Wide Power System. Your actions will prevent serious injury or death to GPA’s line crews who are working on or near power lines.

Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for safe operation of any generator.

  • it’s been over a Month and still NO POWER in our street (Petmanente Street, Mongmong Hyundia). We are directly located behind Benson Hardware in Rt. 8…

    GPA mentioned it was a TRANSFORMER issue… If so, what’s the hold-up. Everyone ele’s around us has power…

  • it’s time to retire all GPA Board members. Especially General Manager Benavente… The community deserved better service….
