Question: I know that running a generator without being hooked to a battery will cause the output to go waaaay high, thereby burning out the generator.
So, simply grounding the generator output back to the generator case will not damage the generator when running? I never knew that. Thanks for the info.

Grounding the output also grounds out the field windings, so the generator will not produce power. No voltage, no current. Nada.
