Welcome to the site! I suspect that you mean Neutral. This site is full of great informatipn on these generators, and the best thing I can say is to do a little searching and a lot of reading, since a proper hook-up is imperative. If you don't have a good meter, its time for one. The meter will solve your question in short order, and help with a basic understanding of what is involved. The meter should surely have the capacity to check Hz. I recomend a clamp meter.

That and we have a lot of the TMs here. I'm sure you could find your answers there.

First off welcome. The ground post is below the control box on the skid. If your looking for the neutral its L0. I also suggest you download the manuals from this site and have a good read when you have some down time, there is some good info in them. And good luck with the gen.

Welcome, you have found a great site.

When I got my MEP-002A this page was a great help. MEP 002A and 003A - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

And this one helped as it has some good pictures of the wiring.

Hope this helps.
