GENERATOR BONDING PLUG
Why You Should Own a Generator Bonding Plug
If you rely on a generator to power your RV, campsite, or backup system, a generator bonding plug is an essential tool for ensuring safe and efficient operation. Without it, you risk encountering “open ground” or “open neutral” faults, which can disrupt your power supply or cause surge protectors to malfunction.
By connecting the neutral and ground terminals on your generator’s outlet, the bonding plug resolves these issues, allowing your generator to deliver reliable power without the risk of dangerous electrical discrepancies. This simple, affordable device can help you avoid costly repairs, prevent safety hazards, and ensure that your electrical systems function as intended—whether you’re on the road or at home.
A bonding plug is a small investment for peace of mind, helping you avoid the frustration of power interruptions and ensuring your generator works as safely and efficiently as possible.

Warnings for Generator Bonding Plug Use
Use Only with Compatible Generators
The generator bonding plug is designed for use with generators that have a NEMA 5-15P outlet. Do not use this plug with any other types of generators or outlets that are not specifically designed for this plug style.
Check Electrical Connections Before Use
Always verify that the bonding plug is securely connected to both the generator and the RV or electrical system before use. Loose connections can lead to electrical faults or potential hazards.
Surge Protection Is Not a Substitute for Grounding
While the BP15B bonding plug provides surge protection, it does not replace proper grounding of your generator. Ensure your generator is correctly grounded according to the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid electrical hazards.
Not for High-Wattage or Industrial Applications
This bonding plug is intended for residential or recreational use. For industrial-grade or high-wattage applications, consult with a licensed electrician to ensure compatibility and safety.
Do Not Use If Light Indicator Is Off
The green light indicator confirms that the generator is operating at the correct voltage. If the light is off, do not use the bonding plug until the issue is resolved. Failure to address the warning could result in improper operation or electrical hazards.
Avoid Exposure to Wet Conditions
The bonding plug is designed for dry, indoor or sheltered use. Do not expose it to water, rain, or moisture unless specifically rated for wet environments. Wet conditions could lead to short circuits or electrical shock hazards.
Regular Inspection Is Required
Periodically inspect the bonding plug for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. A damaged plug can compromise the safety and functionality of your generator setup. Replace the plug immediately if any defects are found.
Only Use Approved Extension Cords
When using an extension cord with the bonding plug, ensure that the cord is rated for the appropriate wattage and is in good condition. A faulty or undersized extension cord could cause overheating and other safety risks.
Electrical Malfunctions May Occur Without Proper Bonding
The bonding plug is designed to prevent “open ground” or “open neutral” faults. Failure to use this device when required can result in malfunctioning of electrical systems, tripped breakers, or damage to sensitive electronics.
Consult a Professional for Complex Issues
If you experience any unusual electrical behavior, such as sparks, smoke, or power surges, immediately disconnect the bonding plug and consult with a qualified electrician. Never attempt to repair the electrical components yourself if you’re not trained.
