I have no clue about any of this, but having said that I will contribute what I can. When I wired the second outlet (for generator use) into the Smartswitch and in turn into the Progressive Industries EMS system, I was constantly faulting out at the EMS. Progressive Industries response was to bond the neutral and ground together on the input. I did that inside of the Smartswitch and everything works fine. As I said, how this plays into the use of all generators, I don't have a clue, but I do know that the electrical guru I consulted said to do it, so I did. It works so I didn't question it further. I believe the error code I was getting was open ground. I detailed all of this last year on another thread. If this seems to be an inane contribution that may or may not help with the answer, so be it.
