Patent ID: 7390224

Claim:
A system for providing electrical power comprising: an alternator; a non-neutral-bonded connector electrically connected to the alternator; a neutral-bonded connector; a first power cord including a first connector, the first power cord being electrically connected to the non-neutral-bonded connector and the neutral-bonded connector during a first configuration of the system, the first connector being adapted to promote a first current path from the non-neutral-bonded connector to the neutral-bonded connector during the first configuration; a second power cord including a second connector and a conductor, the second power cord being electrically connected to the non-neutral-bonded connector during a second configuration of the system, the second connector being adapted to promote a second current path from the non-neutral-bonded connector to the conductor during the second configuration; wherein the first connector is not electrically connected to the non-neutral-bonded connector during the second configuration and the second connector is not electrically connected to the non-neutral-bonded connector during the first configuration; and wherein the first configuration results in neutral-bonded electrical power at the neutral-bonded connector during operation of the alternator, and the second configuration results in non-neutral-bonded electrical power in the conductor during operation of the alternator.
