Nonsense. I plug mine into my transfer panal all the time.


Hmmm... IIRC, the EU2000 user's manual mentions this...


I stand corrected. The note on page 14 of the on-line user's manual says
the receptacle grounds are connected to the frame, and the wiring diagram
on page 54 shows that, but I couldn't find any warning not to connect the
rectangular pins to the ground, and Vaughn does this, so it seems OK :-)

Best if the neutral and ground are tied together at one location. The
ground is a saftey item. Neutral is designed to carry the current.

House wiring, the ground and neutral are tied together at the entrance
panel. No where else.
