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..

Glad to hear the Hughes Autoformers Ground Neutral Bonded Plug is working well for your Champion generator. Having a backup is never a bad idea, especially when you're dry camping!

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!
