Keeping your body from completing a circuit is the goal. Generators produce voltage relative between two points Hopefully between the Hot wire and neutral going through your load, and having it all come back to the generator. Some producing 240volts have 120volts on both sides of the neutral, and 240 between the "hot" points. If the neutral (in the generator is connected to the generators frame, the bond causes the generator/engine to be a part of the voltage. If that generator is on a wooden pick-nick table, there is no way for voltage to get from the generator output through you to a mother earth ground. If it is sitting on the ground, or grounded with a rod in the ground, or placed on a steel structure you are working on, it can do so. If the generator neutral is not bonded to the frame of the generator, the only path back to the generator is through the neutral. If it is used to power a house, the important thing is to keep all trace of generated voltage out of the power companies wires to the pole. A disconnect will do this. The best disconnect all three service entry wires. The generator (if hooked up to the 240) system of the house must connect its neutral to the house neutral which is grounded through the house ground. This provides a path for electricity just as though the generator was the power company. At that point it does not matter if it is internally bonded or not. Jim
