I have a customer who has a 12000 watt portable generator with a 50 amp straight plug receptacle. First question, Obviously the receptacle does not have to be a twist lock?. This is the outlet that I'm figuring the cord will plug into, to plug into a 3 or 4 wire generator box with twist lock receptacle in it. . 2nd question: I'm assuming that the box it plugs into only has to be 3 wire since I don't seem to be able to find a 4 wire box. Is this standard on 50 amp generators? I'm assuming this kind of generator has a "floating neutral" and doesn't need a neutral??
Thanks for any input.
