Anyone who doesn't know the answers to the above questions, as a previous post "politely" stated:
"You are out of your league here".
Hints: They are not tied together (which would be a NEC violation), and GFIs do not need a ground to work.
Sure be an ass; that really contributes positively to the discussion.
I readily admit little to no experience or knowledge with generator systems that are not a part of the power grid and am asking for information.
IF.....the white and ground wires are not connected together at a central distribution box, then where IS the "ground" wire connected ....and to what ??
And yes I know that a GFI really detects a current flow in the third "ground" wire.....where there should be none but for that to happen it has to be connected to something somewhere. Maybe it would more properly called a "neutral fault" detector. But then, how would it detect a fault in the "neutral" if there IS NO neutral in a balanced AC feed ??
I may not know everything about generator systems but I have a REALLY good grasp of the basics and my BS detector is still going off.
