Youroo, I think the floating (unbonded) neutral gives an open ground error (not reverse polarity), according to Mike's video here.

This is good info for everyone using an inverter generator to know, including the OP. Many thanks to our fellow member, jmsokol, for providing information like this to us.

I bought two 2000 Honda's, they have been a great addition and used a lot. I have to run a CPAP at and one does job of keeping my batteries charged.

Yes WmTire,that is what i meant "Open Ground"! Thanks for correcting that error! I find it odd that some members claim there Inverter Gens do NOT have a floating Neutral and others with the Same unit Do? Youroo!!
