I have just reconfigured my Lima MAC from 120 volts only (Delta) to 240/120. (Zig zag). The Lima unit is a twelve wire unit.
The generator is now producing 120/240.
I have a 10 amp breaker between the neutral and ground on my main panel in the main house. (I wanted to be able to issolate the ground should I need to use my cheapo backup inverter that reqiures an issolated ground or it will be smoked and kaput).
My problem is that now the breaker trips. I am getting 120 volts between neutral and ground. When I try to ground the neutral via the breaker then gen bogs down and the breaker trips.
I am now running with a floating ground.
I did not have this problem when wired delta and 120 volts only.
Any ideas as to what is happening?
