"The generator must always be grounded". I also have a very heavy
(hence the acquisition of the lightweight Chinese generator) vintage
3.5 KVA generator. This has the neutral and ground (earth on the 3
pin 230V outlet socket) bonded together. I suspect the Chinese
generator is the same. I have never grounded this vintage generator
and I am still alive to ask the following question! =20
How is effective grounding achieved, when the generators are used down
my garden, powering hedge trimmer, strimmer and other garden and DIY
tools? =20
I ask the question here since several contributors have remarked that
they own / use portable generators, and maybe someone can enlighten
me. =20
