[AT] While we're on the subject of generators

[Cecil Bearden]

When you have it running, I am connect yourvoltmeter from each hot leg 
to the common.  Then connect from this to the generator frame.  If there 
is no voltage, then this is the neutral for sure.  The common should be 
your neutral.  I say should be as I have had some interesting things 
happen.  ost a message on the old generators forum at smokstak.com  ther 
are some Onan technicians there who work in the areas that have to run 
on generators all the time....

I know that the generator need to get neutral bonded to get along with the GFI's in the house,  but I can't find a wiring diagram to tell me for sure what the neutral is.  And I have found the local Onan folks completely useless as they seem to believe that I will sue them if things go bad..  Anyone have some Onan info?
