Neutral-Ground Bonding Plug

Neutral-Ground Bonding Plug

Solves the "GFCI won't reset" problem on generators, inverters, and portable power stations.

What it does
Most portable generators, inverters, and battery power stations are designed as "floating neutral" — meaning neutral and ground aren't connected inside the unit. That's fine for most tools, but many modern appliances, RVs, electric vehicle chargers, and GFCI-protected devices expect neutral and ground to be bonded (tied together) to sense a fault correctly. Without that bond, GFCI outlets can refuse to reset, RV inverters/converters may throw fault codes, and some electronics simply won't run right.

This plug creates that bond. Plug it into any open outlet on your generator, inverter, or power station, and it ties neutral to ground at the source — giving downstream devices the reference they're expecting.

Typical uses

• Getting a GFCI-protected outlet to reset and stay reset on generator power
• Running an RV, camper, or travel trailer off a generator or inverter without tripping faults
• Powering sensitive electronics or medical equipment that require a bonded neutral
• Portable power stations (solar generators, battery banks) used as a home or job-site power source

How it works
Inside the plug body, the neutral and ground pins are connected with a short jumper wire. There's no electronics, no switch, nothing to program — it's a passive bond that's either plugged in or it isn't.

Important safety notes

• Only use this when your generator/inverter is genuinely floating-neutral and isolated from any other bonded source (like your house panel). If you're back-feeding a home electrical system or running a generator alongside utility power through a transfer switch, do not use a bonding plug — you can create a dangerous double bond and defeat your GFCI protection instead of fixing it.
• Check your generator or inverter's manual — many newer units already have a bonded neutral, and using this plug on one of those creates an unwanted double bond.
• Remove the plug when the generator isn't in use, and don't leave it in an occupied outlet you need for a normal appliance.
• Not a substitute for a licensed electrician's judgment on your specific setup, especially for RV or standby systems.
