If your generator is designed to work as backup power for a house, it will be wired to your electrical feed through a transfer switch. If you attempt to power your house through a plug-in connection, particularly a 120V connection, you will probably not power the entire house and all the power that your house uses will be fed through one circuit breaker. An improperly installed back up generator is very dangerous, and is unlikely to work as you hope.

You are hooking a generator to your dryer plug It is a four prong style but only have three wire cable available and smaller generator Which prong should you hook the ground to ground?
Whoa there! You are setting yourself up for an absolute disaster. There is no way to do what you are trying safely OR legally. If your generator is a small one, it probably has only 120V output. Your dryer outlet is 240V. There is no combination of wires that will work properly since you could feed only one or the other hot leg. If you do manage to get it hooked up somehow, you could backfeed your generator voltage on to the dead utility power lines feeding your house. This is quite illegal, and several utility workers have been killed in the past by someone doing exactly what you are trying to do. Also, when the utility power comes back on, it will destroy your generator and possibly cause a fire. You NEED to have a qualified individual install a manual transfer switch and move the desired branch circuits to it. then you will have a place all set to plug the generator into, and the interlock feature prevents you from cross connecting utility and generator power. No offense, but you will hurt someone if you do not get help. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
What is wrong if you changed a four prong to a three prong and the dryer is not heating?
My question is WHY did you replace a four prong dryer plug with a three prong! 220 volt Electric dryers require two hot legs, a neutral and a system ground wire. Sounds as though you shunted one of the hots or the neutral. You need to install a four prong plug of the same configuration and wire it exactly as the original.

What are the differences between a two prong and a three prong extension cord, and how do these differences impact their functionality and safety?
The main difference between a two-prong and a three-prong extension cord is the presence of a grounding prong in the three-prong cord. This grounding prong provides an extra level of safety by redirecting excess electricity away from the user in case of a short circuit or electrical fault. The grounding prong also helps prevent electrical shocks and fires. In contrast, a two-prong extension cord lacks this grounding feature, making it less safe for use with certain appliances and in certain environments.
How can I replace a two-prong outlet with a three-prong outlet?
To replace a two-prong outlet with a three-prong outlet, you will need to turn off the power to the outlet, remove the old outlet, install a new three-prong outlet, and connect the wires properly. It is important to ensure that the outlet is grounded for safety. If you are not comfortable with electrical work, it is recommended to hire a licensed electrician to do the job.
How can I safely convert a dryer from a four-prong to a three-prong plug?
