So forgive my lack of electrical knowledge but is all that I would need to do is get a 110 plug, then run a small jumper from the ground to the neutral(white/silver) side of the plug and plug that into the generator?
My assumption is that instead of using a 110 plug I could also do it for the 30 amp outlet on the generator and therefore free up a 110 outlet. My genny has 2 - 110 outlets and 1-30 amp outlet
Thanks
That is a "it depends" type of question.
It depends on the exact type of gen you have (IE inverter/non inverter).
It depends on how that gen is wired (IE120V only, 120V/240V, switchable 120V only or 120V/240V).
It depends on what brand of gen you have. Some brands already tie the neutral and ground positions together internally so no need to add a plug..
It depends on if that gen is going to be OK with having the neutral and ground positions connected together. Some inverter gens may take issue to having neutral and ground position wired together..
If you have not run into a problem with an open neutral to ground on the gen then no need to add it.
