[QUOTE="Nate Strickland, post: 58347, member: 1719"] Re: School is in I agree, sounds like a neutral/ground swap. If I understand correctly, without neutral and ground bonded, swapping them would have an effect similar to lifting the neutral, since the current would not have a return path back to the genny other than through the second hot. The ground rod (if there was one) might be able to absorb some energy, but probably not enough to hold the neutral at 0 volts. [/QUOTE]
