What kind of fault? I take it you are operating the generator in a standalone fashion.pmmcin said:So I plugged the upgraded evse into the generators 240v 4pole nema l14-30 receptacle via the adapter to the evse's l6-30 plug and the evse faulted.
You need to use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance between the neutral pin and the ground pin on the generator's L14-30 receptacle. It should be near 0, indicating that the neutral is bonded to ground at the generator. If it is not, then you will need to make/acquire a ground bonding plug as described earlier in this thread.
Connecting the generator frame or generator receptacle ground pin to any earth or ground external to the generator is basically useless, when the generator is operating in a standalone fashion.
