Hi
I was having a discussion with a friend. Hes telling me that you can use a portable generator that has only a 120v 30a output (TT-30-R) to feed both phases of a single phase breaker panel and that all 2pole equipment fed from that panel will work. AC that uses a 2pole 20amp receptacle and/or a hot water heater that is wired for 2pole 30amp. I said NO. He says YES.
