A generator needs to be grounded to prevent the buildup of excess voltage and to protect against electrical shocks. Grounding helps to safely dissipate any stray currents that may occur during operation.

What is the difference between a floating output signal generator and a grounded output signal generator?

A signal generator can be used to function in two ways. In high frequencies, one of output probes of any generator (negative probe) will be grounded automatically, hence it has to be connected with grounded parts of other elements not to create a short circuit problem. But, in the case of floating type (f<100 Hz, generally) probes of the signal generator is not grounded.

What can happen if a utility-sized electrical generator has an ungrounded neutral?

What you need to define is the statement "utility- sized electrical generator". It depends on what the generators output is used for as to the way it is internally wired. In some configurations there is no neutral to ground as in a Delta configuration.If the generator is configured for a Wye output and the neutral centre tap is not grounded there will be a floating voltage between the generator and the utility system ground. It is for this reason that the generator's neutral point is grounded to bring the floating voltage down to zero volts to ground.
