[QUOTE="Langston Holland, post: 58340, member: 171"] Re: School is in I'm impressed Geoff. I've violated my promise to make my next post the one with the circuit analyzer contest questions, but this is some serious insight. :) I'd go ahead and tell you what I've concluded about the neutral failure with the genny hookup, but my two employees have $50 each riding on giving me a good answer to this by Aug 1st. I get $50 from them if they don't figure it out. :) I can't believe I'm about to do this, but here are some clues: 1. The genny was fine, but had no neutral to ground bond because it had just been used near a building with electrical service. 2. The genny lug bolts for the electrical cables had no color coding or understandable L/N/G markings. 3. They had a good meter with a (not helpful in this case) 10MΩ input impedance. [/QUOTE]
