My customer has a 10k generac portable. He has been backing up his house, large home, 400 amp service, for years with this generator and says he can run everything. He had a setup in his detached garage where he would plug in. He wants me to put the plug outside, so I bought the 50 amp power inlet box, cord, and 50 amp twistlocks for both ends. Turns out the 50 amp outlet on the genny is 3 prong straight blade. I am wondering why that is since there is an LR30 right next to it. I was thinking I could use the straight blade on one end and the twistlock and input box on the other, but what about the ground? I see generac has a tech email line I will try to ask them about it. (I thought maybe someone changed that outlet but HO said no.)
