Thanks for your reply ... but I'm still curious though as to whether you really meant your surge protector was indicating "reverse polarity" and not an "open ground", as should be the case with any genset wired with a floating neutral, as shown in this pic.

However, if you truly are seeing a "reverse polarity" indication I sure wouldn't be plugging anything in until you figure out where the reversal is occurring. :E
