If you’ve ever wondered how portable generator bonding, grounding, and GFCI protection actually work under the NEC, this walkthrough breaks it down using the real setup I installed at my church. We’ll cover NEC 250.34(A), 445.20, transfer-switch compliance, and why a floating neutral behaves differently depending on how you connect the generator.
I’ll also show why the generator I purchased is shipped from the factory with a floating neutral, how I verified it with my meter, and how the Reliance transfer switch uses the service neutral/ground bond to create a code-compliant fault path.
