Portable generators and polarity
When I run my Honda 2000 portable generator to feed the Bird I don't
get the green polarity indicator lights. The lights/gages are located in the kitchen area next to the sink. Everything seesm to work okay. Is this a problem? Keith 84FC35 |

Portable generators and polarity
Most motor homes keep the neutral and grounds separate. Some generators
also do this. The "floating" ground will keep the green lights from coming on. I have a Honda 2200 I carry for emergencies since we spend so much time in extremely cold weather. The Green lights do come on with it but it is not electronic. The main problem you could have is getting "bit" if some component or appliance has an electrical fault. Honda manuals have an electrical schematic. Look and see how it is wired internally. If the neutral and ground are ties together then I would guess there is a connection problem. - Chuck Wheeler - 82 FC 31 SB Fort Worth, TX _____ From: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com [mailto:WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Keith Strehle Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 2:04 PM To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Portable generators and polarity When I run my Honda 2000 portable generator to feed the Bird I don't get the green polarity indicator lights.
