As I understand it, this removes the grounding wire that linked the
genset to the house. If the neutral wire comes loose, then you are
almost guaranteed to have a lethal voltage between the generator
frame and house ground. That doesn't seem likely to be the safest
solution although it might be the simplest to install.
