Looking for opinions on generator grounding. First, a short story about the Wen 4500W duel fuel. When I received it, after starting it was in Overload state. No load, followed manual to the letter. Sent back, got it back, same issue. So at least they are sending me a new model. Crossing my fingers. Any hoo, it has a floating neutral. Mfg. wants me to connect wire to grounding rod. Oh my. Have seen many topics and videos about folks just plugging in a bounded plug. Neutral to ground pin. Now, when it comes to using a generator for your house, you want the generator to be floating per code. The Rig is grounded to the frame 12v protection? But, when connected to shore power, a fault would ground back at the shore ground. So a generator is like shore power and you pound a grounding rod in the ground per mfg or you plug in a bounded plug and the generator frame is grounded. What say you all? I’ll call up Keystone and ask them, will reply with what they say. Cheers
