Re: [A/S] Re: Generator Question



AL makes a great point.

Even though the Honda's are great generators, any
AC producing equipment needs a good path to ground.
It is no problem running a nice size wire to ground (spike,
copper water pipe, or whatever provides a ground) and
that way you know the trailer is at ground potential, not
floating at 50 VAC or something that will more than
tingle your body parts. The Honda generator itself is
double insulated, so it is safe to handle even though
it may be running and not grounded.

Now if you had one
of those plastic SOB trailers, it would be a little safer
as there are not many shiny aluminum parts showing. :-)
