Yes. This is just enough to fool the EMS and yet will not introduce 60 volts to the generator or rv frame. OK it is there but the impedance is so high it will not allow enough current to even trip a GFI.
Appreciate the explanation! After a bit of searching here on rv.net, I've noticed there's quite a bit of controversy about "bonding" an RV generator's neutral to ground.
I'm assuming by using the 100,000 ohm resistor it's decreasing the voltage potential between the generator's neutral and ground "just enough" to "fool" the EMS into thinking there's not an open ground? Also, I'm assuming using a 100,000 ohm resistor is supposedly a bit "safer" (in terms of a shock hazard) than just using a solid wire (or zero ohms)?
Thanks!
