Hi,
Generators have a floating neutral.
You can correct it by adding a "bonding plug" on the generator.
The easiest way to do a N-G Bond is to create a N-G Bonded Edison Plug, this is done by simply buying a replacement male plug and wiring the Neutral (White Wire/Silver Screw) to the Ground (Green Wire/Green Screw) using a 12-14 Gauge piece of wire. Just make darn sure you don’t wire the Hot leg tot he ground. Then when you need to power something like a RV or HE Furnace with your generator you plug it into a empty outlet.
This is the answer ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.

You really don't have an "open ground" as your EMS is telling you, it's really a floating neutral.
You can ignore the sematics lesson here. What you call it really doesn't matter.

Bonding the genset's neutral to ground is the solution.
But, he still agrees that pianotuna's solution is the correct one.
