I have a gig coming up where we are trying to use the generators built in to the lighting towers. You've all seen the ones I'm talking about, they're tow-behind, has a crank up tower with 2/4 halogens (halide). There's one Edison circuit and one L6-30 circuit that I'm trying to make use of. The problem is that the L6-30 has no neutral (hot/hot/ground). So I'm wondering if I can share the neutral from the Edison. What I'm thinking is I could create an Edison breakout box that I would plug my gear into. The other end of the box would have one cable running to the Edison, the other to the L6-30. Inside the box is where I would simply jump from the Edison's neutral over to the feed from the L6-30. Any reason why this wouldn't work? Am I being clear about my wiring plan? Ultimately I would end up with 3 circuits. which is what I need. The only other option would be to rent a separate generator but we're trying to avoid that.
