Maybe someone can help me out. I've always used a double male in some configuration to power a home (that's not hardwired) with a portable generator. Yes, I understand the risk, so I mitigate it when I can. I've never seen a portable genset with a female tap, so that requires at least one male end on the cord. I like to use a twistlock tap because I feel it's more secure. On the house end, either you use another male, or you tap into a male outlet on the house. Either way, you're using two males. I use a California Style (CS) plug on the cord that provides some shielding protection, but it still requires caution. There is no free ride or exception for stupidity. If I leave the breakers open on the genset and panel until everything is hooked up, that's about the best I can do to avoid injury. I reverse the procedure when switching back to grid power.
If someone knows of another way to hook up a portable generator to a residential panel other than hard tap, I'd appreciate some help. NEMA numbers for the connectors if you know them.

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
