Questions & Answers

In the product description, it states that this item can be used with a generator that can output 750 watts. In this case, does the wattage refer to running or starting?

There are watts running on it. There are various kinds of connectors for this type of generator output the most common is usually a 30 A 240 volt connection. Your generator's peak or starting wattage is only a measure of its capacity to meet short periods of greater demand, like the starting of a motor.

The housing is plastic resin, but is it resistant to sun damage? Do you think a metal housing would be better than a plastic one?

Over the 5+ years I have had it, I have not noticed much fading, but the fact that it works when I need to plug in the generator is all that really matters to me.

It looks like the socket can be upgraded to a 50amp twist lock. Is that possible?

There is no way you can do that. It is possible to compromise the warranty of this unit by modifying or updating it.

Despite its simplicity, this program functions exactly as advertised
5/5

Two punchouts on both sides of the box, as well as an access point on the back, ensure wire access from anywhere. Rather than putting in the plug, it took longer to drill through the concrete wall. Using this generator hookup, you can keep it dry in any weather.

The product did what it was advertised to do
5/5

Maybe I should wait until my generator actually needs to be used in an emergency, but so far all the testing I have done with the generator and breaker interlock have shown that the inlet box I installed to connect the generator to my breaker interlock works as it should. My replacement parts cost less than twice as much as those quoted by contractors with high material costs, so by buying them myself and paying for installation, I saved a lot. the product and had it installed in a short amount of time. Due to the fact that it got installed upside down, for additional protection against rain and snow, it is quite a challenge to get the power cable plugged in, but that is not a defect with the box.

The box is really good
5/5

The box is very durable. A circuit breaker is directly connected to the pole and mounted under the meter base. So far, I have not had to use it and, hopefully, I won't have to, but it seems to do what it says it will.

I love the outlet for generators
5/5

I like it very much! They are waterproof and plug into the female plugs very quickly and easily. As far as the sun is concerned, I'm not sure how the box will work. The results will come with time.

A generator is interconnected to a breaker panel on an internal sub An external generator is connected to an interlocked breaker panel using this type of cable

The mount should be correctly mounted to make it waterproof
4/5

Strong, heavy plastics make the body of the car structurally sound. A knockout that can be used in many ways Check out our I had to repair the hinge when it came apart on the first or second day after being used. That's because the outlet points downward, preventing rain/snow/leaves from collecting inside. It must have been overlooked when it was made, not because of a design deficiency, so I don't think it would be a problem typically encountered.
