A question or three for the electrical gurus…
I tested my generator output prior to connecting to the Quattro AC1 input. Generator output is 120v 60hz. Some questions:
- checking ground with either hot or neutral resulted in a reading of 55-60 volts AC.
- Connecting neutral to hot resulted in 120v.
So, is this safe to connect to the inverter as is? When I test the Shore AC input from the iso transformer to the Quattro, I see 120V AC on the black hot lead, and 0V on the white neutral.
Ideas?
