The neutral & ground are NOT bound.
A ground fault tester looks for a match between the Hot to Neutral and Hot to Ground.
It will show a ground fault.
My tester's report of 0.0v vs. 60v Hot to Ground and Neutral to Ground is a result of lower impedance than needed to read it (Inferred - Not sure of this).
Solution to line monitor ground fault alarm -- disconnect the line monitor.
GROUNDING NOTES:
1) The generator need NOT be grounded when hooked to a trailer. The ground is to the generator's frame.
2) If the generator is hooked into a fixed structure's wiring (ex. as backup), the generator should be grounded to the fixed structure's grounding rod. This is in addition to an isolation switch so you don't kill a lineman from the power co.
