Well... it's like I said... if you're reading 60V on the neutral line
with respect to ground, would YOU connect neutral to ground? Remember
that the neutral side of the EU output is unfused. Although the EU
manual shows the wiring diagram, it doesn't show you what's in the
inverter. That Vaughn is able to get away with shorting the 60V neutral
to ground, and apparently then getting 120V instead of 60V on the hot
side WRT ground, indicates the output is probably already transformer
coupled in the inverter. I wouldn't have considered that a safe
assumption to make.


I made no assumptions. I simply took the time to read the manual. As both
I and another poster pointed out, you are reading a leakage voltage because the
ground is not referenced to the hot or neutral. You need to add a load to get a
correct reading.
