50A Inlet with portable generator

[wmeek]

I have a Bonded neutral portable generator that will be connected to a 50A Inlet Box which would feed to a 50A back Feed Breaker with a mechanical-interlock, to a residential Main Service panel. If I removed the bonding jumper on the generator to prevent having parallel neutrals and install a laminated tag on generator stating (The bond has been removed to facilitate a bonded neutral backfed system only).
Would this be Code Compliance.
Also, I would install a decal on Inlet Box stating (For Connection of a Nonseperately Derived(Floating Neutral)System only).

The floating neutral thing is confusing since it is not a term that is code defined.

As long as the instructions that came with the generator allow you to remove the bond, I don't see an issue.

702.7(C) has required wordage for that sign.

WARNING:
FOR CONNECTION OF A NONSEPARATELY DERIVED (FLOATING NEUTRAL) SYSTEM ONLY

Why would they wordage like that?

Why would they wordage like that?

you would have to look up the proposal and its substantiation or ask a code making panel member. I have no idea, but that is the specified wording.
