You have it the wrong way around, you plug the load into your generator.

Never plug a generator into a house unless you have the proper disconnect installed. To do so will put you and your house in danger. Plus you are a danger to anyone working on the main line supplying power to your house.

Things that could happen.

1 You could feed power to the main line which can kill or injure anyone working on the main line.

2 Without the proper control switch. You could be subject to large fines.

3 If the power company finds out. They could pull your meter. Taking your house off the grid.

4 You will be liable for any damage you cause. Also your insurance could be canceled.

5 If power comes back and back feeds your genset. It will turn into a smoking pile of junk.

6 If you need a generator at your house. Have it installed the proper way by a company that does installs.

Can you plug a power strip into a generator to run multiple items?

Yes, you can plug a power strip into a generator to run multiple items, but it's important to ensure that the overall power draw of the devices plugged into the power strip does not exceed the generator's capacity. Be mindful of the total wattage of all items connected to the power strip to avoid overloading the generator.


How do you make a generator cord that would be a four prong male plug on one end and a three prong male end on the other for a 240v 30a that would plug into a house wall plug?

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.


What's more beneficial a whole house generator or single gas generator?

I have done a little bit of research on this, and can tell you that a whole house generator is the way to go, if you can afford it. They are hardwired into your home's electrical system, and will usually run your whole house. A single use generator is usually very noisy, and limited as to how much it can power at one time in your home.


How can you wire a 110V plug outlet on a generator to stop the plug from melting?

If the plug is melting it is because of a heat build up caused by loose connections. If the plug is not a moulded plug check that the screws are tight. If it is not that, then the plug blades are not tight enough in the receptacle. Change out the receptacle on the generator. Draw a picture of the receptacle and mark where each wire goes. The best way of doing is is when you have the new receptacle take one wire off of the old receptacle and put it in the same position on the new receptacle. Having tight blade connections will prevent the plug overheating and melting.
