I just purchased my first generator, a big Predator 9500W inverter unit. Runs smooth and quiet. I noticed a big warning that says the generator must be grounded to a grounding rod deep in the ground. I'm having a licensed electrician who specializes in generators hook it up to my house. I plan on moving it to different spots all over my property and wont have a grounding rod in these areas. How necessary is grounding the generator? I know people who used these for camping and construction are most likely NOT grounding these out. I'll ask the electrician about this but we already talked about it a bunch and he is including a 100 ft. extension cord for it so he know I plan on moving it and he never mentioned the grounding rod thing....thanks for any advice!
