Is this plug designed for a bonded neutral generator?
Hello Robb, The PB30 is a 4-wire 30-amp inlet box and can be used with a Bonded or Floating Neutral generator
Box instructions read that female cord end should be L14-30C. Will cord with L14-30R female end work in this box. What is difference between L14-30C and L14-30R ends?
Hello FeRod, they should both work but make sure the female connector is long enough to to connect and twist in properly. We recommend the PC3010M,PC3020M,PC3025M, or the PC3040M power cords from Reliance Controls for best compatibility and a secure connection.
My Harbor Freight cord doesn't seem to twist and lock even though the cord is advertised as "Twist Lock" (10 Gauge Four Prong Twist-Lock 30A L14-30 Generator Extension Cord). It doesn't lock into place with this switch. Any idea why?
Hello CaptainR, This is a Home Depot question and review. Please direct your questions directly to Reliance Controls support@reliancecontrols.com so that someone can address the issue the Harbor Freight cord issue. Thank you
Will this work with 6 gauge wire?
Hello Sam, With wires/cables code sets the minimum size gauge that can be used at certain amperage. I do not think 6 gauge will properly clamp into the wiring connection clamps. For 30 amps the minimum is 10 gauge. There is nothing wrong about using larger gauges. There is no maximum distance, except the cost. The greater(much greater) the distance, the larger the gauge is needed, which can greatly increase cost.10 gauge should be good for at least 75 feet. You start to go much beyond 100 feet is when to start looking at larges gauges. The cables should have proper allowed markings/labels by the testing labs approved by your local government.
Will this work with a generator producing 9500 watts?
Hello Dave, yes but you can only use the L14-30 outlet, that is the 30-amp outlet. Using the 14-50 outlet would allow too much amperage into the Transfer Switch.
