Good Day, I tried the search but I couldn't figure out how to work it. I clicked "search" and nothing happened. so sorry if this could have easily been answered with a search.
My mother's generator has crapped out. It's a 5,000 running (not running) watt gen with a 20 amp 4 prong receptacle. So I installed (prior to knowing the gen crapped out) a transfer switch with a 20 amp 4 prong male end. Now that the gen has crapped out, I can't seem to find a 5,000 watt generator with a 20 amp 4 prong receptacle. they have all had 30 amp 4 prong receptacles.
Can I safely use an adapter from a 30 amp cord to the 20 amp 4 prong transfer switch?
i really don't want to buy another transfer switch.
Thanks in advance
