I fell into the category of one of those Internet shoppers buying something that wasn't really what I wanted. Like a typical 'man', I installed it and went to the next step of seeing if it would work. Well, it needs a little tweaking but I don't have the smarts nor the electrical experience to do it myself. So, S&M to the rescue!! Something other than COVID to talk about today!!
The pictures should be self-explanatory:
1. The gadget I bought
2. The 250 volt female plug that the generator plugs into on the above gadget
3. The 120 volt outlet on the generator
There are 6 110v outlets inside the house wired into the 4 wire female plug outside the house. Apparently, I can connect two of the 4 wires together and switch out the 250v plug for a 120v plug. Which two wires do I connect together or is this just a dumb project??
I will add, I don't know which of the 4 wires is the load, or anything and I am assuming the green wire is the ground.
