DuroMax Generators Equipped with a Floating Neutral

The following DuroMax and DuroStar generator models are equipped with a Floating Neutral configuration.

What Is a Floating Neutral?

A floating neutral generator means the neutral wire is not internally connected to the generator frame ground.

This configuration is often required when the generator is connected to:

  • Manual transfer switches

  • Interlock kits

  • GenerLink™ systems

These systems typically rely on the home's main electrical panel for the neutral-to-ground bond.


Important Note

⚠ Electrical installation requirements may vary depending on local electrical codes and installation methods.

We recommend consulting a licensed electrician to determine the proper generator setup for your specific application.
