How do you wire a double male end, one to go from standby generator (5550 watt Troy Bilt) to the dryer outlet.

DONT BACK FEED A DRYER RECEPTAL OR ANY OTHERS...
do it right get a manual transfer switch so you disconnect the power co. lines as you turn on your generator power . this is the safe way as not to back feed the power co. lines and accidently hurt some . plus you wont over load yo
ur generator very easy . PLEASE THINK SAFETY.

Serious or trying to stir up more outrage on this site and topic? This was all discussed at great length just a few posting below this one on this very page. Title is "question for electricians".

mrcsw,

Please do not do this.

Unless you trip your breaker and remove the incoming ground and nuetral wire you will be feeding electrical power back out to the grid. This will create an electrocution hazard for the power company employee who is out fighting the elements to get power back to your house.

Also, to a lesser note. If the power comes back on and you are not COMPLETELY disconected from the powergrid you can fry any electronics pluged in to the house circuit (they don"t need to be on) and the generator.

While it continues to be a far too common practice ---- It is a BAD idea. Use a transfer switch.

An extension cord with double male ends is a code violation. One end could be plugged in to live voltage while the other unplugged end has exposed hot contacts.

The correct way to do what you're trying to do would be to install a transfer switch etc. I think there was a post related to that not too long ago.

If you are going to try to do what I think you are trying to do, don't do it.
