All SurgeMaster generators are CSA certified and are

this is a safety feature
that means that the neutral line of the electrical circuit has been bonded to the frame of the generator. The
purpose is to make fulll advantage of the overcurrent protection device to prevent shocks & electrocu-
tion due to a short circuit from a defective cord or device. In effect this will cause the current from a short
circuit to travel back to the generator and activate the breaker, instead of through a person to ground
