No suicide cord! Tryin my best to do it the “right way” but everyone‘s way seems to be different.Ugggggggh, a suicide cord i`m guessing.
Ya know, its not as hard as you think, to do it the right way.
You plug a generator in to a 14l-30p mounted to your house. That goes to a transfer switch. That can be a simple lockout/breaker. That 14l-30p is attached to 4 wires, 2 hot that go to a double 30 amp breaker. Then the neutral and the ground attach to the bus in the panel. Those are attached to the ground for the structure. There is no need for a grounding rod on your generator separately. And the neutral for the generator needs to float. At least that would be my understanding.
In a portable situation the bonded neutral allows use of a generator without a grounding rod also.
My inverter does not have anywhere to even attach a ground rod…
