(OP)
Please indulge Mainly mech engineer.
Am I right in thinking starpoint earth on a genset is all componants connected to one point as opposed to connected in series ie to each other first (floating)

RE: Starpoint Earth
The Wye or Star configuration of windings in a 3 phase generator or transformer means that the ends of the 3 phases are all connected at the star point. Voltage L-L=Voltage L-N(1.732) Always. For example 208 = 120(1.732)
Connections other than the star connection point may be series or parallel depending on the configuration of the windings and the voltages desired.
