Portable Inverter Connection Control System

A coupler for connecting a portable inverter supply to a load center, comprising:

• a hot conductor coupling that includes an inverter side hot connector and a load center side hot connector, and wherein the inverter side hot connector and the load center side hot connector are connected by a first conductor;
• a neutral conductor coupling that includes an inverter side neutral connector and a load center side neutral connector, and wherein the inverter side neutral connector and the load center side neutral connector are connected by a second conductor;
• and
• a ground conductor coupling that includes an inverter side ground connector and a load center side ground connector, and wherein the inverter side ground connector and the load center side ground connector are connected by a third conductor;
• a neutral-to-ground bonding switch that is actuated from a closed state to an open state when the load side center neutral connector and the load side center ground connector are respectively connected to a load center side neutral conductor and a load center side ground conductor, wherein:
• in the closed state, the neutral-to-ground bonding switch connects the second conductor to the third conductor;
• and
• in the open state, the neutral-to-ground bonding switch disconnects the second conductor from the third conductor.
