Thanks. I will try to find the bonding strap and remove it tomorrow. I will make the cable from the house outlet to the generator Monday night and I will be using 6/4 soow cable. At the generator I will connect to l1, l3, L0 neutral and connect the ground wire to the trailer ground point or the...

I did a dumb thing and read some more posts and found this about grounds ''Andy the generator frame can and should be connected to a ground rod, the important thing in most transfer switch installations is that the generator neutral to frame ground strap be disconnected so the only neutral...

Thank You Sir. You know you can start billing me now for all the information.

Is there anything special needed to be done in regards to grounding at the generator, is the neutral bonded at the generator etc?.I don't think I need a ground rod when connected to the home with 4 wire but not sure on the generator end.

What type receptacle did you use on the generator? Any pics?.

On the generator, did you mount a receptacle as well or just use the posts for connection?.

Thanks for the help. I think I will do just that. The breaker on the panel where the #2 wire goes is 125 amp. I have to change that to 50 or 60 A correct?. Here is a very good picture of where it connects on the left side 125A. Will the new 60A breaker accept #2 wire size is my question?.

Here is what I have to do The 5449 generac panel was already installed and 2/2/2/4 ser was also already run from the panel( but not connected) over to the wall where it was all set to go to a large 20kw propane unit.I have a MEP003A instead so a pb-50 outside gen inlet will be installed...
