I have a customer that has a Honda EM5000SX Portable Generator. He wants to use it as emergency backup power to his house.
The Neutral is not bonded at the Gen. I confirmed with Ohm Meter. The gen. manual also states that it is not bonded. I think some people call this a "Floating Neutral"
I would like to install a basic Manual Transfer Switch next to the outside service/meter. The gen.'s 240V L14-30 will feed thru a male gen. wall receipt. into the TS.
I assume I should leave the Neutrals Unswitched at the TS.
Should I Bond the Generators Neut. to Ground Bar inside the TS and connect that to the Service Electrode (ground rod)? Thanks.
