Panel Wiring ? / Generator hook-up

[NWOhioChevyGuy]

OK I have been flamed on other threads asking questions about wiring my generator, not looking for anything more than wiring answers here please.

Panel in picture is the Main meter interlock panel installed by my electrician a couple summers ago.

I am now at the point of wiring in the generator. I have a Reliance PB50 Power inlet box that will be mounted in the garage just inside the overhead garage door. Generator will be run with door open and plugged into this box with a 10' cable.

The garage has its own interlock on the panel and a Reliance PB30 Power inlet box that will be fed from a 30A outlet on the generator.

See the picture below of the existing wiring in the panel. It's obvious to me where to land the 240V feed wires but what is escaping me is where to exactly land the common and ground wires.

Both go on the right since the ground and neutral in that panel are grounded, I would just put both on the ground bar on right since the other Allen key lug is big for a 10 wire

Thanks, with all the discussion on bonding / un-bonding things I wanted to make sure.

I will still un-bond the generator inside it's panel to ensure that the main service panel is the only location things are bonded. Correct?

Also in the generator manual it states that I should run a wire from the ground lug on the frame of the generator to an earthen ground rod, one of the rods for the main panel is right beside where the generator will be running. It is OK to run to the same grounding rod correct?

Yeah most guys are saying to unbond the neutral and ground on the generator and the ground rod couldn't hurt as an added safety if something shorted out on the generator

Yep, I would concur with everything that is said thus far.

Thanks guys.....

Now if the parts just come in to fix the damage caused during shipping, I will be ready for the next outage. Simple $26 fuel pump that has been on back order for over two weeks now.
