Yes Cleveland, it would be important if there is a GFI as the sensor will not see the imbalance, to open the circuit like it should. But without a GFI the bonding makes little difference unless the neutral is severed and the ground line is carrying the current. The straight neutral path (white...

ctfjr, I think John may be referring to a circuit that instead of using the neutral for carrying current, it passes through the ground for some reason. Sometimes, that can be a source for a bad connection that then heats up. He can expand, but in the scheme of things, would probably never be...

I'd change the color code to black and blue for the power leads, white for neutral and leave the green alone. That will require white colored electrical tape and regular black. Tape the neutral (red and black) wires white and tape the gray wire black. Connect blue and (new) black to the hot...

Ok...but NEC is different (grey looks white in photo). My personal preference is to make the change at the earliest place possible (which would be the recept on the gen.), but you must have followed it out. Bonded and licensed, I don't go against NEC knowingly.

Actually John and JimC the jumper is connecting the hot side to the ground, not the neutral. That would be a direct short circuit, not simply a bonded neutral. The black is power and the white neutral, so that ground wire at the end, going to the terminal where the red wire is connected...
