EMS doesn't like Honda generator-"open ground"
We just tried using our Honda 2000 generator with our EMS-equipped 3400. The generator worked fine last year with SOB trailer and no EMS; this time when we tried to use the Honda, we got the E2 (open ground) message from the EMS, which cut off power from the generator.
Reading the archives, I found that someone else had had a similar problem a couple of years ago; the suggested solution was “make a pigtail and bond the neutral and ground together.” This apparently solved the problem, and I assume it would solve our problem, too, if we had any idea what this means and how to do it (or have it done for us).
Is this a separate piece of wiring that would be in line between the generator and the trailer? What materials/equipment do you need and how do you make it?
Thanks so much for your help...it’s tough to boondock for several days (as we plan to do here regularly in Alaska) without a generator, so we are desperate for a solution.
