double pole 50A with 2 wires going in and 2 coming out. wires out feed a single 50A receptacle. wires going in travel on to 1 30A 240V, 2 30A 120V, and 4 20A 120V receptacles.50A is separate from the others. so the input to the 50A and the 30A could combine to give me 80A but I am not a pig...

has 30hp engine on it. plan to run exhaust to outside. transfer uses only 2 hot wires. both grounds are separate and not involved.

the electricity, whether high or low voltage must pass through your chest to be sure to kill you. I have sustained shock by 440 vac and simply had arm pain because I had grounded my elbow and touched toe wire accidentally with my hand. current passes shortest distance, lowest resistance. but a...

I am an RN and worked in an ICU for 3 decades. pulmonary artery catheters were used to measure pressures in the heart. and on post op heart surgery patients we had left atrial catheters in place. sometimes we got to measure the actual pressure in the left ventricle during a cardiac cath...

I had suffered with gum disease for decades and was tired of it, so I had 24 teeth removed at one time. all under local anesthetic. several shots of Novocain and out they came. I avoid any anesthesia whenever possible. general anesthesia is among the highest risks during any surgery. any time...

the transfer box was installed by my local REC when they hooked up my meter to the house. it has an interlock that prevents generator from being on without turning off incoming power. I found the wiring diagram. all power goes into a 50 amp breaker, then passed on to the multiple 20 and 30 amp...

I was hoping to wire directly into a CB . this is a portable generator which I am permanently mounting in a shed next to the transfer box. I will search for a diagram. thanks for the input.

no diagram. that's my big problem. it has a large panel with a total of 8 outlets, each with their own CB. 3 are 240v, the rest 120v. suppose I could just combine the lines to the 2 240v outlets into one. and use my 80 amp CB in line to the transfer box. long time since I did electrical...

so I need to form a single output line to connect directly to my 80amp transfer box breaker.

I have a portable generator for my home. it puts out a total of 80 amps at 240v with no problem. what it does not have is a single 80 amp connector. I have a 50amp and a 30 amp. my plan is to connect these both to the CB in the transfer box to attain the full 80 amps to my home. a local...
