There should be grounding requirements in the installation
instructions. Generally there is an external ground lug on the frame
or housing of the generator. This would get connected to your
grounding electrode conductor for lightning protection. There
should also be an equipment grounding conductor that is run with
generator conductors to the transfer switch or panel that you will
be supplying the generator power to.

Lightning protection? You got wire that'll handle 7,000 Amps?


LOL. What do you think ground rods are for? For a generator a #10
may only be required. For a house a #6 or #4 will suffice.

Well, they sure as hell ain't for lightning protection!



LOL. I printed this thread to show some of my fellow electricians. They
will get a good laugh like I did. Thanks for making my week.
