Generator outlet 50Amp/220V receptical ?
« on: March 10, 2009, 11:11:04 PM »
Hello,

I've built myself a 10Kw genset and I am looking at ways to power my woodworking shop and as a backup for my home during power outages during hurricane season (Florida). I'm not looking to power the whole house, just some comfort circuits, lights, fans, microwave, frig, etc.

My genset is a diesel powered unit and can produce a 10Kw of power, an ST-10 head, it's a 22hp ChangFa single cyl engine

I'm trying to find a 50Amp, 220V twist lock female  receptical that will fit into a water proof Reliance outdoor box, anybody have any sources for this item?

I wanted to add a few more comments.

What I'm trying to do is to be able to use a power cord plugged into the genset and either plug it into my fuse panel for my wood working shop or plug it into my house panel via a Reliance inlet box.

you might try Friesen Electric on e-bay, bought some freq meters from them a while back, had a problem & they straightened it right out.
here's a link to a 50a 8foot long cord they have up for auction.
