What's up everybody. It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out this Hughes Autoformers generator adapter plug. So what this is gonna do is you're gonna plug this into the floating neutral generator we have here, and we're gonna go to plug in our surge protector. It's gonna detect that it doesn't have a floating neutral anymore. Let check it out.
So what this is gonna do is sometimes when you use one of your smart surge protectors with the lights on there that give you the code. Sometimes you won't allow you to use the power because it says there's an error, which you have a floating neutral or an open ground. It's gonna detect that and think it's not usable power. So what this does is this is gonna plug into the generator here that has the floating neutral and it's gonna create a bond. So then it doesn't have that floating neutral anymore.
Then these codes should say it's all clear and should have power. So let's test it out. We're gonna plug in a surge protector see what codes it's pulling up. You can see right here with the one yellow light means there's an open ground. So it's letting you know, there's an error, thinks there's an error.
We can change that by plugging that adapter in route to unplug the surge protector first. Plug the adapter in. Now replug in the surge protector. And let's see what it says. Looks like we've got two yellow lights.
It's got a good connection, so it's good to go. Overall, I think this adapters is good to have especially if you aren't on soft ground where you can actually ground your generator, these Champions have floated neutral. So you do need to ground them. If you're not on that kind of ground where you can do that, let's say you're tailgating in a parking lot. This will be really good to plug that in, that way at least you have a bonded neutral and you can use your generator. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out, and hope this helps..

If your Power Watchdog EPO surge protector or other smart surge protector is detecting an open neutral or open ground error on your generator, this plug will create a safe connection so you can get power.This product saved me! I had just bought an expensive Honda EU3000is generator and I found that it wasn’t working with my high efficiency furnace. Only the fan would come on without the burner. Come to find out the generator has a floating neutral. I plugged this baby into one of the outlets on the generator, ran a chord out of the other to the furnace and what do you know the bonded signal did the trick! Furnace runs like a champ. Very happy!
The plug works well and allows the use of a surge protector/soft start.
This product has done very well and I am very pleased with it,,,I do recommend it very much and thanks to Etrailer for all the help.
This item was purchased so we were prepared to use our generator in certain situations. Upon arrival tried adapter and it worked well.
Have not had a situation where we needed it but peace of mind knowing we are prepared.

Still havent needed to use it as of yet. Confident that it will meet our expectations when needed!
Product is great, works well. The customer service was outstanding! Through no fault of etrailer, or mine, the post office did not deliver the first package. USPS said it was delivered, but it did not show up. When I emailed to discuss the situation,, Mackenzi responded quickly with procedure. I did have to file a police report since USPS said it was delivered, which is understandable, but a second package was shipped quickly. Again, not their fault, but they responded quickly and professionally, which is what impressed me.
Works as advertised, easy install!
This plug is great for generator use I will always carry mine.a must have or most generators won't power to cord.
I received the Ground/Neutral bonded plug, two days after purchase. awesome!!! I plugged it into my generator and my travel trailer got the electricity to run through my Watchdog surge protector with no error codes (E7). Thanks. I will continue to buy from etrailer for all my RVing needs,
Tried it out yesterday and it works as advertised.
My newer furnace has grounding protection, with this in place I can run my heat during a winter power outage without issue using my generator. For those with generators have your furnace wired in a way that you can plug It in by wall outlet. One extension cord and we were set.
Worked like a charm on my Yamaha 2000 inverter. Now I can use it on my 5th wheel toy hauler that has a surge protector built in it. Very Happy Camper.
It worked as advertised with my Champion 3400 dual fuel generator.
Unit works good
It works great! My surge protector is watch dog as well. Ran for 24 hours with no problems!
Quality of the product is good and fits well did not solve my particular problem not the fault of the product just that was not what was wrong
Installed it in my generator and so far is doing its job
I received it in a timely manner and it works as advertised

This product continues to do the trick after a year. Without it my generator would have made a nice addition to the dump since the only reason I got the generator was to power my furnace in the winter. Thanks again for giving my generator a bonded signal!
