Feb 3, 2021 at 1:52 comment added ThreePhaseEel @Rob -- you could unbond the neutral from the ground, yes, but you'd have to relabel the generator at that point, and you'd have to undo the mod to use it as a portable
Feb 3, 2021 at 1:52 comment added ThreePhaseEel @Rob -- the equipment ground is already taken care of by the existing 4AWG so there's no need to pull another ground for the second feeder. The generator grounding wire does get hooked up to the panel ground bars and thus to the shed ground rods as well as the feeder grounding wire, though
Feb 3, 2021 at 1:31 comment added Rob The generator i got i was going to unbond the netural from the ground. Its in the manual how to do that. Wont that solve this issue?
Feb 3, 2021 at 1:30 comment added Rob Thanks for the through answer. A few things please. I was tracking with you on all the first part up to the end. Two questions on that part. Are the 10awg feeder wires ok that size over 130ft lenghth in the 2 in pipe and still carry 30amp rating? Also there is no ground wire? So just HOT-HOT-NET. Do you hook up the fourth wire ground from the generator to the ground rods at the shed?
