L1 and L2 are always hot wires, in AC speak, the WHITE wire is neutral. You NEVER put the neutral wire with a circuit breaker in the circuit. It is VERY dangerous. When you have some sort of neutral failure (dimming lights, strange sounding motor operation, etc), you can become the neutral. The white wire is called the Killer Neutral for a reason. Ask some questions of an electrician for further clarification. Do not just guess and try something. You can easily get hurt.

Mr. Hamilto, Thanks for the reply. This leads me to believe that whichever wire is the neutral for the 120Vac system, it should be common with the
appropriate wire of the Onan that is neutral, and should be bonded to the Onan chassis.

It's clear which wire is "hot", in my case it's L1. I say that because the L2 wire is connected to the breaker and I don't think they'd but the
breaker on the "neutral" side of the system.

Best,
Dave
