There is more than one kind of shock, there is the potential of a static charge building up in reference to earth ground (the way lightning works on a grand scale) any time there is an insulator between the source and ground, then there is a shock from completing an electrical circuit which...

The term ground gets confusing here, as there are many possible "ground paths" in case of a fault or multiple fault when dealing with a floating ground portable generator. In theory the generator would be isolated from the earth ground such as the case with an RV generator, the reality may be...

ETN550, there is a fault condition that you left out where there is benefit to bonding the frame to the L2 when in 120V single phase only mode that you left out: Think about this, using your example of older neutral bonded to frame power too, lets say a circular saw: Generator outputs 120V on...

I assume you also measured Lines to generator frame to see if anyone had added a bonding jumper (sometimes done in strange places, but most often on the front or back of the lugs) Yes, having the frame grounded to L2 (often done inside the control box on the back of the lugs) does help if there...

You don't have it all wrong, I have been looking at too many models lately to tell you if 120V 1 phase only is L1-L2 on the MEP-016d, but I think it is, what I can say for sure is your friend has it wrong, and the way you have it sounds right. As to your question about grounding in portable...
