Thank you all very much for your help. I've run this by a few other people as well and I am going to bond L2 to ground. I'll let you know if I have any trouble. -Jake

xnuke- It is a Marathon generator. If I were to wire the generator as waross described, how would I wire a Type I receptacle for it? I would need 3 wires, Hot, Neutral, and Ground, so my L1 is Hot, the Neutral terminal is L2, and the Ground would be the chassis ground on the generator frame...

Waross- Thanks for the info. I think I am going to have to find another way to do this; probably a three-phase 380/220V generator. I'm sure there is a way to make the 220V line to line work for certain devices (like you said), but I do not want to be liable for a potential accident. I am yet to...

Thanks for the reply. It is a single-phase 4 lead generator. And yes, we changed the jumper on the regulator to 50 Hz. Here is the schematic:

I am in the US and am trying to convert a genset so that it can be used in China (or for Europe, Australia, etc. with voltage adjustments). The genset is originally configured to run at 60 Hz with 4 leads to produce 240/120V. I have already lowered the engine speed to achieve 50 Hz, so the...
