Default Generator - connection of neutral and ground wire.

Hi,

Both Charles Wing and Nigel Calder allude to connecting the neutral
and ground wire of AC generators at the generator. Both authors also
show alternator generators with a centre tap at 0v and the other two
conductors at +60/120v and -60/120v (giving 120 and 240v
respectively). The 0v centre tap I think is connected to ground, but
is one of the conductor wires really connected to the ground??? Both
authors have produced diagrams with no ground/conductor connection
shown. It seems a little odd - grateful for clarification.
