[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 520837, member: 3438"] It is 4 wire, twist lock plug on the generator and where the cable plugs into the wall. Seperate terminals for neutral and ground. Before I wired it to the main panel and ran extension cords, the generator was attached to a ground rod. So you want neutral and ground to be bonded at the generator. When hooked to panel, it is grounded at the house ground and bonded at the panel. I believe this is only an issue with portable style generators. Easy to test with ohm meter. I made the neutral-gnd plug (center pic) to use when I use it in a portable fashion [/QUOTE]
