Can this extension cord be used with a portable generator to run from the generator into the house to plug in regular ext cord to use household items?

It would be suitable to run small appliances or a fridge. Anything that doesn't use much power

Hi - We use this ext cord to plug in our 30-amp camp trailer to electricity. It's very heavy-duty. The cord is 3-prong accessible on both ends. Depending on the household appliance, you may need an adapter for the 3-prongs. It should work. For specific info regarding a generator, you may want to contact the Coleman Company. Hope this helps.

Yes you can as long as extension cord is grounded. Go to your hardware store and get cord that has grounding. it will work just fine.

Yes. Just slide it through the square hole in the generator. Should be fine

No. It has standard household plugs and a standard 220 one. I have an adapter but this generator is much to loud for camping.

A generator has a "plug in" for one side of "lets call an extension cord". The other side can be plugged intothis "generator 50 amp recepticle". This recepticle can then be wired to a switch or automatic transfer then on to the house. I do not make my living as an electrician so double check with one.

Sounds like if you have the 8000 watts output this cord will plug into your output receptacle on the generator, need to check the ratings on both the cord and generator. Remember this is the main feed line between your generator and home or what you are trying to supply with electricity. Use caution, proper rated inlet box and a transfer switch/panel. 8000 watts output is more than sufficient to run [minimal use] a normal size single family home during an outage. Also, when in doubt consult with a licensed electrician.

This extension cord can probably handle the amperage. Not sure these would be a better decision than a small, cheap surge protector.

What you are buying is the power cord. It can be used as an extension cord for a 240 circuit. In my case it connects the generator to an exterior box which feeds power to an auxiliary breaker box which I use to power various select items during a power outage.

I use mine with an extension cord, just use a Heavy Duty Appliance Extension Cord ...

I would say that their would be no problem, but if this was mine, I would not use the 7,500 cord on that big of a generator. It might be ok, depending on the load, if the load is more than the 7,500 watts the cord would heat up real bad. if the load is smaller than 7,500 watts, then this cord is great. hope this helped

Very likely, however I would ask an electrician before I used an extension cord on any big appliance. Jean

Yes, we bought this product to use with our 50 amp 15 foot extension cord. I now can plug this cord into our trailer and directly into power. Without it I could only use it as an extension to my 35 foot 50 amp cord.

I have several orange colored extension cords that I connect from the generator to the appliance that I want to use. My neighbor is a retired electrical engineer and that is what he recommended.

No. Not with this cable. Most generators produce 240V 30 amps when using both sides of the generator(electrical side, not physically). 240V 30amps uses special plug (the L14-30 plug) which plugs directly to your house or RV. This cable splits it to two 120V 15amp. This way you can plug regular appliance/electronics.

You will need an extension cord to run this. Be sure the one you choose is rated for 13 Amps and that it is of a thicker than the inside type extension cords you use in the home or it will not supply enough power to make it go. There are no battery packs nor gasoline needed or included for this, it is a plug in and go model.

Not unless you have an RV style 110volt receptacle at your house, they are a unique style plug. When I plug in at home I install a 30amp to 15amp adapter plug on my RV power cable and then just use a good heavy duty standard extension cord.

This is just an extension cord. I don't see why it couldn't be used to power anything.
