Floating ground or bonded neutral - Richard VE3OZW - 2026-02-04

When field day rolls around every year, Dave WI mentions that he has a Honda generator to bring, and reminds us that it has a floating neutral.  I decided to do some "research" to try and better understand floating ground vs bonded neutrals circuits.  I don't watch many videos unless they are concise and to the point.  I found these videos to be informative.  I am making up some bonded neutral plugs for my generators (Honda eu200i and Energizer eZV8000 aka Midland Power).
