AC input to Quattro from generator

Question

question

pau-hana asked Jul 20, '21

Good evening. 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 Quattro as is?

No. You have a floating neutral. The ground relay will `possibly fry in the inverter.

They are not safe in general to use.
