OBTAINING ELECTRICITY FROM
GENERATOR
There are basically two ways to obtain electricity form
a generator:
•
Use of extension cords directly from the genera
tor to the appliance, lights, tools, etc.
•
Use of a double-throw transfer switch installed
directly to the main electrical supply outside of
the house.
Extension Cord
When using an appliance or tool at a considerable
distance from the generator, a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot
receptacle that accepts the tool's plug MUST be
used in order to reduce the risk of electrical shock. A
cord of adequate size must be used. A minimum of 12
gauge wire size with at least a 20 amp draw can be
used. When amperage exceeds 20 amps a 10 gauge
wire size should be used.
AWARNING
An extension cord that is hot
to the touch is overloaded.
Repair or replace damaged extension cords
immediately.
