I can only find 10-3 cable. Since I go through my service panel where
Neutral is grounded, why could I not combine Neutral and Ground in one
wire
and use the ground rod of the panel?
I'm sure you could. The only reason for the fourth
wire is if you should have a heavily-unbalanced load
that caused the neutral to rise above ground potential
more than a few volts, thus rendering the genny chassis
'warm' relative to the dirt it's sitting on. If it bugs
you enough, run a separate ground wire. (Green is nice.)
