Top middle of MO. land of green hills and grass | I use one of these on the outside: http://cgi.ebay.com/GENERATOR-POWER-INLET-30AMP-L14-30-Twist-Lock_W...
With one of these for a Square D QO box that I also found on the shelf at Lowes for $50: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=32112...
I plug in the generator with a standard twist lock extension cord, ground the frame to a 6' rod and we're done. I've had this inspected by the REC engineer here, and he was quite pleased with the arrangement, visible break or not...
A comment RE: Ranges...you wire them with heavy service for using all elements. I wouldn't be afraid of using a single element on generator power, I'm not sure what that would pull, but I wouldn't expect much. |
How do you hook your generator to your house?
