Nice vid straight and simple I like it. I wish I had watched your video before I bought one a Hughes neutral ground plug for $20. I didn’t know it was that simple.
Worked for hooking up my Bluetti AC200 power supply to my Armstrong gas furnace, in an emergency. Initially the furnace would throw a 9 flashes code, which is incorrect phasing I believe, when I tested it first. Mostly it needs to see ground for the flame sensor I think, but it works now.
Grounding the neutral at the generator with a plug is a code violation and you are creating a "new path" for the unbalanced load to go to ground. Neutrals are only bonded at the main panel or means of disconnect where it enters a structure.
I’m sorry sir, but you are incorrect. The generator has a breaker inside it. The generator is a “Separately Derived System” in the NEC. In the beginning he said “Feeding power to an RV. Running it to a dwelling or building, you are correct.
You don't necessarily need this plug, but if you have some fancier surge protection, it may not pass voltage unless it passes its self check with no warnings.
Yes putting any kind of bonding plug will trip the gfci. I do not know any way around it. That issue will take some research or maybe someone will reach out from this comment.
I see no reason the GFCI receptacle would trip, unless there is something wrong. The ground should draw zero current, so any current on hot and neutral should be the same. Remember this is “ONLY” for connection to an RV or boat, not a house of office
Great video. Went into my shop and built me one in 5 minutes using 12 gauge solid wire. Brilliant information sir. Thanks! 👍
Fantastic!

Sorry you came across this video after spending 20 bucks.

Awesome!

Thanks, I was wondering why my watch dog wasn’t working!
Hughes actually sells a bonding plug on their website for this very reason. However, it's $16. Ouch! I'm glad you found this video helpful.
Can you instead just ground the generator to the frame of the RV?
Why do you need this plug? Any impact on RV hookup? Thanks

You do need it for an RV. They are not bonded in the RV. So, without it, the ground slots in the receptacles are connected to nothing.
My generator (Genmax 3500iAED) has gfci on the 20 amp plugs. Will this bonding plug trip the gfci? If it does, how do I get around this?

@@TheManCaveVideoI’m running into this problem. Neutral binding plug is tripping the GFCI outlet on the generator.
Thanks James Bond 007
Is this a when generator by chance?
Wen I meant to say
Yes. DF452iX
