OBTAINING ELECTRICITY FROM
GENERATOR

There are basically two ways to obtain electricity form
a generator:

Use of extension cords directly from the genera­

tor to the appliance, lights, tools, etc.

Use of a double-throw transfer switch installed

directly to the main electrical supply outside of
the house.

Extension Cord

When using an appliance or tool at a considerable
distance from the generator, a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot
receptacle that accepts the tool's plug MUST be
used in order to reduce the risk of electrical shock. A
cord of adequate size must be used. A minimum of 12
gauge wire size with at least a 20 amp draw can be
used. When amperage exceeds 20 amps a 10 gauge

wire size should be used.

AWARNING

An extension cord that is hot
to the touch is overloaded.

Repair or replace damaged extension cords
immediately.
