I'm in the process of setting up a back-up generator. And I have a question.
The 240 volt outlet on the generator, and the corresponding male plug, both have four connectors. The double throw switch in the box on the pole below the meter has three connectors on each side. (One side is now unused, waiting for the generator to be hooked up).
How does this sort out? I'm no novice to wiring. I did the electrical hookup and some other wiring when we built this house 17 years ago and do all of my other wiring, but I'm on shaky ground on this. And when the temp is zero and the power is off is no time to find out you did something wrong.
Can someone enlighten me? I've called a licensed electrician I know, but a 20 minute job of hooking up a generator apparently isn't high on his priorities.
