At a grain elevator right now, brownout type issue, 60v some places none at
others. Not our chair, not our problem, except our portable generator gfi
trips every time the cutover switch engages.
We ended up just bypassing the cutover and only wiring phase and neutral to
the generator outlet, leaving ground disconnected. I suppose we could have
left everything intact and disconnected ground from the panel, i dont know

But what we have now is phase and neutral on generator feeding the outlet
up top, the ground is still connected to the service ground up top. We dont
have access to a panel its connected at

I did measure between the ground at the panel and a known good earth
ground. No voltage, i assume that means no hot ground.

The concern here is if im missing something and the gfi is kicking because
of something i dont have capacity to verify, is running this generator this
way a risk of electrocuting somebody who touches the frame?

Its ground is not connected in the circuit, same as if id just connected a
2 prong adapter
