Ground-Neutral Bond clarification needed.
I need a quick clarification on using a Ground-Neutral Bonded (GNB) plug on a Yamaha 3000ISEB (or any inverter type really). Not sure I am understanding something. When making the GNB plug, does t...

Inverter generators do not have a Y or Delta winding. That means there is no neutral, hot or ground. Inverters have just two outputs, either output could be designated as "neutral" or "hot", it doesn't matter.
When bonding one of the inverter outputs to chassis, the chassis is now at the same potential voltage as one of the inverter outputs. You are now one fault away from electrocution. Without bonding, you're two faults away from electrocution. You can be in contact with chassis and either of the ac outputs and not get shocked. I like that safety margin.
