I think part of the problem is that it's not easy for an end user/customer to identify the winding arrangement of a generator and they're often mis-sold as being suitable for home power back-up when they're not.

As a rule of thumb any portable contractors type generator that comes with a steel tubular frame is not suitable for wiring to a DB.
