We had a licensed electrician do the work, and the problem stumped him, so he called in his boss to help figure out what was going on. Before we were done, they had called their boss (the owner) to help figure out why the generator breaker kept tripping. They brought their own generator out to try it, and it did the same thing. Apparently, although a GFI on the 110 side is standard, the GFI on the 220 side was relatively new requirement at the time and they were not aware of the GFI on the 220 side. The Generac customer service people didn't even know that their generators had it! My electricians took this problem as a personal challange and spent a lot of time testing, they didn't charge me for the extra time they spent trying to figure it out. All their tests showed that there were no problems with the house service, that the problem had to be the generator, and of course the generator repair shop kept saying that there was no problem with the generator. At the end, I was told that the GFI breaker tripping didn't mean that there was a problem with the house wiring, but that the generator wasn't meant to be plugged into the house service in that manner. Would it have worked if we would have provided the generator with its own ground?
