I have just recently installed a optional standby generator for my parents. I installed an Reliance mannual transfer switch in which the neutral is solidly connected into the service panel neutral buss,and is not switched. The generator is a Briggs and Stratten 10Hp 5500w with 30A 120/240V twistlock plug. In the generator the EGC and neutral are bonded together. I know that if you have SDS that the neutral is to be bonded to the case and that you are to connect to the system grounding electrode.However my parents system is the solidly connected neutral. I attempted to remove the bond wire between the EGC and the neutral and when I did I plug the 10/4 cord into the generator and checked with voltage testers between one of the hot leads and EGC and got no voltage drop. I'm concerned because it seems to have lost its ground. What can be done? Or am I going to get my ground as soon as I plug in the generator cord to the mannual transfer switch?
