Generator/ Reverse Polarity Question
Hey folks,
My knowledge on these matters is marginal at best so I am hoping someone here might have some suggestions regarding this issue I encountered today.
I went to test my shiny new Surge Guard 34930 with my 3200 watt inverter genny (using a Surge Guard bonding plug) but I am getting a reverse polarity message and it will not pass power through.
To check further, I bought a 30m to 15f adapter and then plugged in my tester. With the bonding plug inserted it came back with HOT/NEU REV based on the little legend thingy.
When I remove the bonding plug, I get just the middle light (open ground) which I understand is normal with inverter generators.
Very puzzled as all my research said the bonding plug corrects this issue and allows for the use of a SP. Any thoughts? :) Thanks!
