Guys hoping for some help here. A good friend has this six circut transfer switch in his house.
It states its good for 20 amps and 5000 watts. My friend has a 5000 watt generator with a 30 amp twist lock outlet on it. Can he hook it up using an 30 to 20 adapter or is this dangerous? Thanks Bill |

I would recomend using a 10/4 cord and as short as possible (10-15 feet). |
