The generator is a portable (on wheels) 10Kw generator with a 3 prong 6-50R plug that has a 250v 42 amp breaker. I would like to keep it considered as a "Seperately derived Source" but my 4 wire suggestion may change the classification.
The generator has a second 4 pole twist lock plug with a 250v 30 amp breaker
Want to get the full 42 amp - 10kw generator output.
I can skip the ground as the generator and main panel connect the G + N --- or --- connect the G + N in the cord connection from the generator to the house creating a total 3 G + N connections.
