Could I use this with a TT-30 male plug on the other end of a 3-wire setup? My house inlet is L14-30. My generator has TT-30 receptacle.

I don't know how your inlet is wired(110 or 220). I use L14-30 on both ends for 220 volts as my generator has that type outlet. If the L14-30 is not wired same as your inlet, could be dangerous.

You can do a lot of things, but not necessarily to code. There are 4 wires on the L14-30 so that you have two hot conductors, a neutral and an earth ground. The ground is very important for safety reasons, as well as equipment life. You would be better off properly installing the matching hookup to your generator so that there is no question.

L14-30 is a 30 amp, 4 wire 240 volt connector. TT-30 is a 120 volt, 30 amp connector. (TT-30--Frequently it is confused for a NEMA 10-30 with disastrous results. Due to the appearance of the TT-30 plug, many people assume that it is to be wired for 240-volt, but this is a 120-volt device. If your generator does not have a 240 volt connector you can not wire it to your house as 240. (you can use this device--prewired from Amazon--it will still only supply 120 volts.

It sounds like you want to get 30A power to your RV by connecting this to three different sources in your house. This is a big no-no! First, it has the wrong plugs on it, so it wouldn't work for that application, and second, even if you could hook it up, you could create a very dangerous situation in your house by shorting out two of the circuits! Install a 30A outlet on your house near where the RV will be parked.

Your generator will only put out 41 amps at full load no matter how many 30amp receptacles you have. The more items you use in your RV at the same time the more amps you will use, up to 41 amps max.

As long as the generator has a 30 amp 4 prong receptacle this transfer panel can be used

Its a 30amp rated cord so it will be plugged into your 30amp recept on generator.. all good :)

If the proposed generator has a 4L-30 plug (4-prong-one locking) it will, and if it does, yes you can plug 4 different appliances, tools, etc. into it, as long as you don't exceed the output rating of the generator. The 4L-30 plug is designed to power a 220 volt device, so if the generator doesn't have 220 volt capability, it probably won't have the 4-prong plug.

I'm also using.035 wire with mine. You will need to run a bit hotter then what you chart calls for.

If you don't have GFI beaker in line it should work just fine, their is another plug that has two 30 AMP plugs I run that off of shore power if I am not using my generator. It's about $45 on Amzon

Yes. If you go to page 6 of the champion 9000/7000 watt generator manual (http://www.championpowerequipment.com/pdf/manuals/41532/41532_manual-english.pdf) you will see that one of the receptacles on your generator panel is a NEMA L14-30R receptacle. NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) provides a list of standardized plug configurations. L14-30R represents one such configuration. This receptacle requires an electrical cord with a locking connector. It is common on many generators (your 7000 watt Champion as well as my 7500 watt Westinghouse). The "L14" refers to a receptacle that can be used with circuits up to 120 or 240 volts. The "30" represents a current use of up to 30 amps. A locking connector is required so that the attached power cord does not come undone due to generator vibration. In short, the CONNTEK 20601 (25 foot) cord will meet your needs. This power cord provides the proper plug on one end to connect to the generator's L14-30R receptacle as well as the proper connector on the other end of the cord to attach to the transfer switch (presumably) on your house. I purchased this exact cord my Westinghouse generator and it works just fine. Hope this helps.

The eu6500 has a l6-30 on the unit itself, this cord would not be needed with that generator

I'm not an expert on this but I would say no, as it just has a regular 3 pronged plug on the end, one that fits most of my home outlets.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work, as long as your generator has a standard 3 prong plug.

That's not a 14-30 plug, it's a 14-20 -- the difference is the 30 is for 30 amps and the 20 is for 20 amps.

No, as I understand what you are doing ... if you are coming from a generator, you need the other adapter that goes from the big L5-30 generator cable and splits that into 3 female 115V plugs. That's what I use with my generator. I just use this adapter with my computer equipment so I can plug into a regular 115V UPS outlet plug and convert it to an L5-30 type of plug for an 8 plug remote controllable power strip (within amp limits of course). I can't see this one as a popular adapter, ... the other male L5-30 which converts to 3 115V female plugs is probably what you're looking for. :)

You need to know the amp rating of the receptacle on the generator,by knowing this you will get the right plug configuration for a new cord or adapter.I would guess that they make a Y cord like this with the right current rating for your generator.

Hi Alan, the short answer to your question is NO. There are a few reasons for it: 1. In your case, the main panel capacity would be reduced all the time to that of TCA1006 panel's utility breaker capacity, which amounts to about 50%. 2. As DIY installer you have no means to safely kill the power to the main feed cable during installation. I think that this work performed by unqualified individuals would be illegal in most jurisdictions; therefore you would need absolutely the qualified electrician to do the work. 3. It does not make sense to feed the whole 200 A panel with 30A generated power capacity during emergency. Considering the above, I would suggest you to: 1. Purchase a NEW 12 or 24 circuit panel preferably of the same make as the main panel. 2. Install a 40 A breaker on EXISTING panel (the same, or next higher than output of your generator) 3. Using appropriate wire gage, connect the breaker in step 2 to the utility breaker on Reliance control TCA 1006 panel. 4. Connect the generator to the generator breaker of TCA 1006 panel 5. Connect the TCA 1006 output bus to the main breaker of NEW panel (step 1) using the cable sized for the breaker in step 2. 6. Move the breakers and rewire the circuits from EXISTING panel to the NEW panel for the loads you need to run during utility power failure: fridge, sump pump, lights, wall receptacles.... IMPORTANT: Disconnect the main breaker on EXISTING panel during this work! This is a brief skeleton description of the work you need to perform. Should you not be comfortable with it, use the services of qualified electrician. Sincerely, Rad

The only difference between this and the 30 amp model, I believe isthe 30216 is the plug in adapter. Because you will have to have some kind of pigtail to get the plug to fit into your generator anyway I would go with the 30216. It seems to be a more standard size for hooking up and you shouldn't,t have to pay to much more for this setup. Plus if you end up going a little bigger on the generator at some point you'll be covered. To answer your question though, yes this will work.
