Powering off on Honda eu generators

Hi I was wondering if the front gen prep wiring can be used as a tap for my Honda generators. It appears to me they have it prepped for 220 volt. Any ideas??

Thanks for any advice

It can easily be done, but why?

The gen prep has the same connections as your main power cord. There are two hot connections, L1 and L2, Neutral, and Ground. The L1 and L2 connect to separate busses in the circuit breaker panel.

If you get a receptacle for a 50 amp plug and wire it to the gen prep, then you can use a 50->30->20 pigtail/adapter to connect to the generator. The generator power will then flow to both L1 and L2.

You could also take the simpler approach of using the pigtail/adapter to plug your main power cord into the generator.

You'll also want to take a look at this article on generator neutral bonding.

Great thanks for the fast reply. I really appreciate it!!!!

I'm putting my generators on a slide out tray and I'd rather not drag the cord from the back

Here's some additional information on receptacles and wiring.

Thanks!!!!
