my generator produce 240V 30 amps, what kind of plug I need to run an 220/240v appliance ?

What kind of appliance ? Most 240V appliances are not easily connected to a typical household generator. Well pumps and water heaters are hard wired (no plugs on them). An electric range or dryer will have a plug that won't fit into the typical portable generator 240V outlet (L14-30). Most folks that need to run a 240V appliance need to have a transfer switch wired into their home. Portable generators are much better suited to powering 120V items - a fridge/freezer/lamps/laptops/microwave via an extension cord or two. I have well pump (240V), so I had to go the transfer switch route + 6000W generator. Works great, it runs my well pump and a bunch of other stuff in my house, it just costs some $$$ upfront.

It depends which plug your generator has. The ones I am familiar with have a 4 prong twist lock type 240 plug. I use one that is split into 2 120 plugs, but if you want to use 240v, you just need to see what type of plug is on the generator and the appliance you are using. If you are not sure, ask an electrician to be safe.

Very scary plug here! Because this is an L5-30P plug. the only way to get 110v out of the outlet would be to use the ground wire as the common, and that's dangerous and illegal. Here is a cable that requires the L14-30P plug, which WILL allow for 110v.

The reliance cable PC3020 is a 4-wire cord of 10-gauge wire. Two wires each carry 120v from each of the generator's two 120v outputs. The third & forth wires are the neutral and the ground. A 240v circuit in the house is accomplished by combining two 120v wires from the transfer box to the house 240v breakers. If you need to plug directly into a 240v outlet on the generator, I suggest you inquire with Reliance controls. I assume a direct 240v outlet on a generator would need a 3-wire cable of wire gauge adequate to handle the 240v amperage output of the generator

The one I bought is 110-120 vac but I don't know if they sell one for 240V. Good Luck!!

Josh, Most regular power outlets in your home are going to be 15 or 20 amps.Open your fuse box and see if you have any breakers running at 30 amps other than the 240V for the dryer. Find that outlet and you should be good to go.

The only difference between this and the 30 amp model, I believe isthe 30216 is the plug in adapter. Because you will have to have some kind of pigtail to get the plug to fit into your generator anyway I would go with the 30216. It seems to be a more standard size for hooking up and you shouldn't,t have to pay to much more for this setup. Plus if you end up going a little bigger on the generator at some point you'll be covered. To answer your question though, yes this will work.

The Conntek YL1430520S is a Y-Cord that allows you to connect to the 2-phase 240vac 30-amp outlet on your generator and supply single phase 120vac 15amp household service to two separate connections. Neither the generator supply source nor the Y-cord connection is rated at 50amp.

Your generator will only put out 41 amps at full load no matter how many 30amp receptacles you have. The more items you use in your RV at the same time the more amps you will use, up to 41 amps max.

The honda generator I have requires a pigtail from the generator which looks like a simple extension cord plugin to a twenty amp plug which then plugs into your twenty amp cord that you will run out from the reliance box. Personally I wished I would have bought the 30 amp reliance box which is identical except for the plugin. The 30 amp connectors are more standard size and are more available than the 20 amp stuff in my experience.

For any generator you will have to buy a output power cord. It has standard 115V and 220 v. output plugs. If you use for your house, you may want to ground generator too.

L14-30 is a 30 amp, 4 wire 240 volt connector. TT-30 is a 120 volt, 30 amp connector. (TT-30--Frequently it is confused for a NEMA 10-30 with disastrous results. Due to the appearance of the TT-30 plug, many people assume that it is to be wired for 240-volt, but this is a 120-volt device. If your generator does not have a 240 volt connector you can not wire it to your house as 240. (you can use this device--prewired from Amazon--it will still only supply 120 volts.

I wouldn't know why not, depending on how many amps the generator can support at 220v. What is the output of your generator? Is the 220v outlet rated at "X" number of amps? Depending on how you are setting the welder, you may need up to 20 amps of service from the generator, which may be higher than it is rated.

J.R., you want the Conntek L1430520 Y adapter. It has 4-prongs and matches the plug on the generator.This one (the L5-30P) has only three prongs.... won't fit....

By regular size, do you mean like a group 24 or 27? I would not rely on the 12V side of the generator to charge my house battery. I would get a 30 to 15 amp adapter and plug that directly into the 120V AC receptacle on the generator. Let your on board charger charge your battery.

This adapter uses a 4 prong male plug to feed a generator's 30 Amp 220/250 volt output to two 15/20 Amp 110v female sockets. I'm not familiar with your particular generator, but if it doesn't have a 220v outlet, this adapter is likely not for you.

No, J.R., really, nothing "technical" about it. It's a four prong L1430 plug that connects toyour xp4400E L1430 4 prong plug that splits into two (2) count-em-TWO 120v plugs that allow you to use both "sides" of your generator. Each 120v plug can be used for up to 1750 watts. Check the reviews, especially from RJ and Ernie the Wireman.... The "other" plug you asked about is a 3-prong-plug.... It won't work..... Be sure you flip the 120/240v switch to 240.... YES, 240... The Y adapter splits that into two 120v plugs.....

Mine is working on 110v, but not sure if it will handle 240, as I am not at my house to check.
