⭐️ Client Testimonial: “When I started my business, I spent hours online searching for equipment. Every company wanted to charge an arm and a leg for shipping… Clean Pro Supply didn’t charge me hardly anything. They sell the same excellent equipment everyone else does but marked down a lot cheaper. Also, I was denied financing equipment at another company but didn’t at Clean Pro Supply.
The customer service is the best part of this company. Rachel, whom I’ve worked with, has had an answer for everything and always has the best advice. Five stars from me!!”

Great video. Well presented. But wanted to bring up a slight correction. The 240V 30amp plug is providing 30amps per leg (per 120V circuit); this would mean the splitter you have on the 240V 30amp circuit would support 30amps for each connection (for a total of 60amps, not 30). The totals watts for the 240V 30amp connection would be around 7,200. The total watts for the 120V 30amp connection would be 3,600.
This video was extremely helpful. I run a mytee escape and understanding how to maximize the generator power was always tricky. Thank you
Great explanation on how to fully use a generator! Excellent video and audio as well.
Glad it was helpful! Please let us know if there are any other topics that you would like us to cover.
This is great, you’re a natural teacher. Keep it up
It goes like this: One can not add up all the Amps at the same time. For you would go way higher than the 12,000 KW from your Generator. So remember this: it is "Kilowatts" that we are really working with.
So IF you are using just under 50 Amps; on that largest receptacle X 240 V it = 12,000 KW. And that is IT! You could NOT use any other receptacle. But if you are not using but say; 35 amps, then you can use other receptacles. As long you don't exceed 50 Amps all together.
Excellent video. Thank you!
So well explained!
At 6:46 when you split the 240v 30 output into two 120v output, each leg is still limited to 15 amps each. You can't demand 25 amps on one leg and 5 amps on the other and think its ok.
240v 30a plug is 2x30a 120v legs. 7200w max.
Thank you for this video. Excellent explanation.
Great video, super helpful! The 120/240 outlets; Can I connect any 120 or 240 volts device on it? The idea is to connect a generator to a transfer switch and then supply power to a 240 V a/c unit and some 120 V appliances on the same generator.
Very very informative thanks a million 🙏🏼
Great Video Dave, just wondering how would I go about grounding the generator?.
Just got My self a generator for the 1st every, but the wife and kids look at me sideways cause I don't speak electrical and the outlets would pop. But now I kinda got a grasp on what Im doing (I think 🤔) but I wanted to say thank you for the information tho
Why are there two 120V outlets when you should only use one of them per leg?
Since you have two legs or circuits of 110, can you basically run a spliter backwards and get 220 with around 30 amps?
My generator has the 4 prong conector but it says 13A max. How is that going to divide my split connections in the adapter ?
Did you say the 3 prong 30 amp outlet could run only 1 appliance , but I have a 3 prong 30 amp ext cord with 3 outlets on the other end ?
The 3-prong 30amp outlet is 120V. Try not to consider the number of outlets on the end of your 30amp cord, but the actual load that you are placing on the 30amp cord. You should be safe with a load as long as it is less than 30amps and is running 120V.
Why do they put two plugins on the 120 if you're only supposed to use one? Why not just put one outlet each?
you might be running a fan in one room...a tv in another, etc.
@@spacecoastz4026 so you're admitting that both can be used safely at one time as specified.?.
@@alexolivarez732 Yes...as long as you don't exceed the amp rating.
Thank you for the information. I have a scare fire machine. The motor is 230 bolt and the cord has three legs. How I convert that to four legs
I have a 2200 running watt generator and a 100 ft, 10 gauge extension cord. Would it wrong to plug in an extra 75 ft, 12 gauge reel extension cord to the 100 ft extension cord to power household items?
From what I know if your going to 100ft you need 10awg or you might have a really hot cord better to go bigger
My new frig keeps tripping the breaker on my champion generator. I read that on some new frig’s this is an issue. Some people say the workaround is to use a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter. Any better ideas?
Can I use the 50 amp outlet and the 30amp out on the generator to apply 80 amps to a single breaker box. I’m using separate cords of course
Sounds like you would have balancing issues
Question. I'm trying to power a AC on a generator. Ac is 115v 25amps. What plug should i use? NEMA L6-30P Twist ??
I have a one that the output is 240v but I want be able to plug in a vacuum winch one would I need than the plug
I wonder what brand those yellow cords are? Id like to purchase some just like that. Thank you.
The plugs are in the more sectoon of this video. The links are provided up top. 👍
What if I'm trying to plug into a nema 14-50r female that goes to a home? I can't seem to find any 50a power cords that go male-male.
You will not be able to find (legally) any cords that are male-male. These cords are called "suicide cords", because they can kill people if the ends are accidentally touched by someone while the cord is energized. The 14-50R plug on your home does not sound right... a generator inlet box will have the correct type of connector for your house.
I was waiting for the explanation on the nema l5-30 and you go “don’t worry about that “ 🤦🏻♂️
How would you wire or where would get a cable that has a 3-prong male end for plugging into a generator's 30 amp 3-hole receptacle and a 4-hole female end for plugging into a 30 amp 4-prong outlet connected to a house's 30 amp circuit? My generator doesn't have a 4-hole 30 amp receptacle to match the house's.
Great video. Thank you!
You are welcome!
