Hey there Mark, Ive read enough of your posts that Im confident youre pretty good in this electrical stuff soooooooooooo have you read all my long winded posts below lol????? Ive told this Neutral/Ground/3 versus 4 wire stuff a hundred times lol I bet youre all tired of it by now
To hook it up properly for a 120/240 volt backfeed or a 2 pole (L1 L2 no Neutral) transfer YOU NEED A 4 (NOT 3) POLE PLUG/CORD/RECEPTACLE
DO NOT use the safety/bare/green/Equipment Ground Conductor as the Neutral. Thats what happens when you try to use a 3 pole grounding receptacle made for a straight 240 welder that dont have any neutral grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
At the panel alllllllll the Neutrals (from genset and utilitys and X fer switch if you used one) are joined at one point,,,,,,the bare/green Equipment Ground Conductor goes out to the case/frame of the genset,,,,,,,,at the genset UNBOND any Neutral to case/frame connection...
Thas bout as simple n straight as I can make it for ya WITHOUT trying to explain the science of it all, I give up on that
Take care there Mark best wishes n Merry Christmas
