Receptacles on a two-wire, single-phase portable or vehicle-mounted generator rated not more than 5kW, where the circuit conductors of the generator are insulated from the generator frame and all other grounded surfaces, need not be protected with ground-fault circuit interrupters.    (a) Location - Christian Way, Andover, MA:    On or about 2/12/13, the employer failed to provide ground-fault circuit protection for employees using a 6500-watt generator.
