Eisboch relates:

-According to what I read, (should have bookmarked the URL) 4 pole generators
have a bonded or common neutral and is designed for use with GFI protected
loads.-

Bilge- I would hope that he doesn't have a "hot" neutral, not only do I NOT
like hot or floating neutrals, O best beloved, but they are illegal in merchant
service...and I've no reason to believe that they are legal on small stuff.

I've been "kissy-huggied" more n' once ashore from a neutral line feeding back
voltage and exciting my mental electrons. And shoreside electricians who come
out here are similarly tied in knots..."whut'd yumean 'don't trust colors'?"

What they prolly do is have 3 phases from 3 poles, and they ground the fourth
pole

Could be wrong...always willin' to lurn, especially when it's someone else
getting shocked.
