[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 209406, member: 172"] If your only option is to use 2 small generators, you need to tie the generator grounds together at an absolute minimum. The use of a parallel kit that also ties the neutral and line conductors together is also a very good idea if the generators support it (the EU2000i does). I'd also strongly recommend GFCI protection for all circuits. Running 2 independent power sources without tieing the grounds together is asking for stray currents on signal wires (or through people), up to the limit of what the generator can provide (so ~20A at 120V in your case), a rather unsafe condition.
