What is the conduit? Metal could be considered the ground so the three wires would be OK. If its not metal then you need to pull a seperate ground. At least this is what is considered the norm for wiring. Maybe generators are different? But someone will still need to know what the conduit is.

It won't be conduit. It'll be cord like welder pigtail or dock power cords.
