I’ve been curious about this as well. There seems to be some conflicting information. I would like to hear the boards opinion on this.

My thoughts are since the generator is connected to the home’s grounding system through the panel, it shouldn’t be necessary. If you were running extension cords to equipment, it would not be connected to an earthen ground.

This is my understanding as well. My electrician who hooked up an interlock kit to my home breaker panel (with generator plug in) in didn't say anything either. I will followup with him.
