Electrical Question RE: Grounding, or lack thereof

On my last trip, I noticed the ground prong on my 30a to 15a dogbone adapter that I use with my Honda genny had broken off. Didn’t want to risk anything so I ran down the street and bought a new one....

Safety Grounding is very much misunderstood by many people. HONDA engineers know what they are doing and they leave it un-connected.

So as I said. The O/P did the right thing in buying a new dogbone (Due to the possibility of using it with Mains power which IS grounded) but with the honda it makes no difference.
