My generator receptacle is for a NEMA L14-20 plug. This looks very similar to the L14-30 plug shown. Can I use this cord with generator?

The L14-20 is a 20 AMP plug and the L14-30 is a 30 AMP. They are very similar but physically different. You can buy an adapter (Amazon sells one) but if you do that, bear in mind that you don't want to exceed 20 AMPs through this cord.

No. Unfortunately each has one prong that is different. They are not interchangeable. You can tell the difference by whether the bent prong turns in or out

The two plugs are NOT interchangeable. To determine which one you are looking at, zoom in and see that one side of one tab is bent in the opposite direction. I found Amazon's views to be accurate for the purpose of distinguishing between the two.

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.

Not sure why someone would recommend a L14-30P plug for an L5-30P outlet? The line from the geni L5-30p is split into (3) 15 amp outlets. Not sure why someone said it is illegal... You need to use an L5-30p plug for the line. I have a Champion generator this would work on. It has the L5-30p outlet, it is used for home back-up and some people use it for RV generator power.

No. This charger won't fit. The hole that fits on the generator is too small.

All 30 amp generator cords are compatible. For instance the generator for this unit I purchased was a Briggs and Straton.

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.

Read ALL of the directions.

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.

The Q310A will accept the female end of a generator cable where the male end of that cable can connect to the generator. The Q310C accepts hard wire only which of course the opposite end could have a male end to connect direct to the generator. With my Q310C I connected it hard wired on both ends the other to a Power Inlet box attached outside of the house where I use a 30-Feet 30 Amp L14-30 Generator Power Cord - I keep the generator far away from my house.In summary the Q310C does not come with or accept a receptacle.

No this switch is for a 240volt 30 amp 4 wire outlet. Your generator is only 120 volt 25 amp 3 wire.... i would not put a gen switch in for this generator. I would sell that generator and buy a 8500watt 240 volt generator. Good luck

Make sure you research this thoroughly for what you are trying to do, this inlet receives the female end of an extension cord. I'm not familiar with power plugs on generators.

The cable I Have has nema L14-30P male plug and L14-30c female connector that I received . I think the L14-20 is a miss print .also 30 is amps and 20 is amps the L14 is four prong

Yes as long as the generator has the 30amp outlet. If the generator doesn't have the 30amp outlet you can use an adapter or just use a good 10 or 12 gage cord.

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 cord will more than handle the 30 amps you need... I use it for welders on a 60 amp line. Make sure the plug will match your receptacle on your travel trailer.... there are adapter cables used for generators which will work if the plug isn't the right one.

I do not think so, it comes with a standard north america plug (un-grounded I think) that fits NEMA 5-15 sockets

i see many different answers posted here, the bottom line is you need to know what amp your dryer is. look at the picture of the extension cord and look at the plug on your dryer if the prongs match this cord will work. there are many different plugs out there for 220 powered appliances. in my case the cord is used for a 20 amp. 240 volt garage heater, not a dryer and if i had a 30 amp heater this plug would not work. before you order please compare the cord plug or ask a friend or nieghbor that is familiar with electric power for advice so that you don't make a poor purchase.

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.
