Q: JIm,
I have a Generac xp8000e generator. I want to buy a 25' 4 prong cable but see that they are only rated up to 7500 wats. For the 8000 watt with 10k w surge on the xp8000e, does this matter? If so, which cable should I get. by Bob from New York on March 11, 2012
A: You will never realize a full load of 7500 watts at any one time, therefore the Century Wire & Cable model D13011025 or any other power cord rated at 30 amps with the NEMA# L14-30R plug would be more than sufficient for you. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: I have generator 7000 watts. Can I use cable 30- Amps? by Mike T. from Connecticut on October 11, 2011
A: A 7000 watt generator normally has a 30A outlet on it which is rated at 7500 watts which is the same as the cord. Just double check the connections in our specs section on the product page.
Q: Hi Jim! We are going to getup a manual transfer switch with an out side box to accept the cord from our portable generator.
We want to get everything to handle 50 amp service but will be using a 5000 watt/20amp generator with a twist lock plug (L14-20R) for some time until we can upgrade it to a larger model.
Question: How can we 'adapt' a 50amp cord to our L14-20R plug so that we don't have to rewire or replace the cable when we upgrade our generator?
Thanks for you help! by Devin from Illinois on July 23, 2011
A: You would have to contact a certified electrician for that type of modification to specifically designed equipment. We do not offer recommendations on altering equipment. Sorry.
Q: Hi Jim, I recently purchased a Generac XP8000E from Lowe's and I need to know what I need from you to hook it up for emergency use. I have 200 amp service and a GE main panel. by Eric from Missouri on February 05, 2011
A: The Reliance Controls model Q310A is a good choice for your transfer switch which gives you the flexibility to connect to any breaker in your panel since this model has interchangeable breakers.
You will then need to purchase a outdoor power inlet box such as the Reliance Controls PB30. This would be mounted outside close to where you will be running your generator for easy plug in. This item is hard wired directly to the manual transfer switch.
You will then need a 30A power cord to connect to the inlet box from the generator. The length would be dependent on where you are placing the generator in relation to the inlet box. A 4-prong type cord is needed for 120/240V. by Jim, Product Expert

Jim's Recommendation
This is a close out model and it won't be around forever, but for the price it earns our better spot.
This product will allow you to connect a generator to a transfer switch. This power cord allows you to power 120V and 240V. It has 10 gauge wire and male and female twistlock plugs.
For the price and 25ft length, this power cord is a good deal.

I ordered this cord on March 14th and received it on the next day by Fedx (ground). Great service. Also the product was just what I wanted and expected. I live in northern Michigan.

Power to the People!
Very easy process from the 1st phone call to the courteous R & L driver. Everything was as advertised and putting on the wheels and handle couldn't have been easier. I just added the oil and gas and I'm ready for the next power outage. All I have to do is plug in the generator cable to the house outlet, flip the switch on the transfer box and run whatever I want.(except the stove, washer, dryer) No more stressing out when I hear that a hurricane or ice storm is coming. A good product at a fair price!

Looking for Generator Equipment
Being an electrician in Connecticut, all supply houses are back-ordered months on generator equipment. Generators are a hot ticket these days do to 3 major power outages from Hurricane Irene and snow storms. I was referred to "Generators Direct" from another electrician & I was relieved this site has a lot of the brand name equipment I'd normally use in the field. Prices are fair, shipping time is good. I'd recommend this site to anyone who is an electrician in need for parts, accessories & equipment. I have already referred "Generators Direct" to many people. Thanks

Installation easy. Simply read the instructions. Machine started on first try using the electronic key. Hooked up to a 10 breaker sub panel. Can now run my sump pump, furnace / heat, refrigerator, kitchen stove top, and many lights in many rooms. Machine has more than enough power.

Power Outage
I got this Generac about 2 or 3 weeks before the big north east snow storm on 10/30/2011. I was without power for 11 days. Thank God I had this generator. It worked great, All 11 days full time. This thing is really worth the money. You guys are great! Thank You for all your help!

The generator seems to fit my needs perfectly. I purchased an EMERGENCY unit since it will only receive limited duty but will have excellent care and maintenance. I do expect longevity of this unit using it as stated, time will tell. The customer service at EGD is nothing short of the best I've dealt with. Kris is extremely knowledgeable, polite, and most helpful with any and all questions asked of him.
The Century cable is capable of doing what it was designed to do.
The Transfer switch is a neat package with many options to suit most anyone's needs.
The Reliance PC3040 also purchased appears ok, but there are issues that are being addressed ongoing. They (Reliance) also have an excellent service orientated dept. represented by Nick who is working on these issues with me. Hopefully all will work out in the final analysis.

Installing the Briggs & Stratton KIT
The product was delivered tailgate, which meant that the driver wheeled the generator up to the garage on a pallet. We slid the box off and the Pallet went with the driver, very convenient and the FOD inspection insured the generator arrived in good shape. You probably want to know about the Transfer switch included? It is similar in all respects to the Reliance Controls switch with the exception that the switch is heavier and more robust, it does has the two wattmeters on it and the instructions well decal-led on the product. The only downside if there was one was that the center breaker is not modifiable, that is to say if you want 30amp off of the center breaker then this is not the switch I would recommend. The switch I received was better than the one sold online or at Lowes which you can look at in person in the store. I saved easily the shipping charges by buying the kit with the generator. The switch with the kit is 15" x 15"
I suggest that you watch the following video carefully as the instructions are the same for any Transfer Switch installation http://www.reliancecontrols.com/Stream/ProTranInstall/ProTranPlayer_56k.aspx
It takes more time to get the switch mounted and your decision of circuits than the actual wiring of the switch into the panel. Use #10 or greater wire (if it is a long run) for the generator to the nema plug mount and housing, NOTE that that costs extra if you buy it online and not in a kit)
If the kit had come with the wire nuts to wire up the installation there would have been nothing additionally needed if the nema housing punches directly through an exterior wall. The cord was available with the unit but I suggest that you get one longer, I did. Placing the generator away from the house a bit is always a sound idea.
Generator itself, two adjustable wrenches and your assembled, takes a second person to lift while the wheels go on etc, my wife did it as the generator has a handle and that leverage makes moving the unit easy, you could do it yourself with blocks etc.. but we were done in 5 minutes. It takes longer to cut away the carton from the generator than to set it up. Put in oil but mark the level that was sent OEM on the container, plug in trickle charger which is included, add gas, and start.
It is not difficult again I highly recommend the installation video. If you do a meticulous job and when finished want the value of the work to be reflected in your home equity, take your time and do a neat installation. It should take two people no more than 3 to 4 hours if you are prepared. Make sure that the generator and the panel is appropriate for your needs, watch the installation video before buying a generator, and finally buy a quality name generator.
Have a siphon hose handy and remember to top off your cars and trucks before bad weather. Great kit and good value and I shopped for a long time before buying... I'm good I just hope I don't have to use it. I feel if you shop at this site and buy the kits when on sale you get the best $ on the internet if you are a new installation.

Cable
I just wanted a longer cable for my GP6500E generator so I could leave the unit in my shed and plug the cable into the house transfer switch. This was absolutely the best price ANYWHERE. Now I just need to vent the exhaust and I'll be all set.
Almost can"t wait for the next power failure.
EGD Responds: Portable Generators should also be run outdoors to provide ventilation of the exhaust gas and to keep the engine running cooler. Running a portable generator in an enclosed area is very dangerous and can cause the engine to overheat very quickly.

EGD - Excellent, Generac 5747 - Not So Sure Yet....
First, I'm pleased with EGD and R&L Transport. My purchases were processed quickly, I was informed of the status, and shipping and delivery were as expected. I will definitely purchase from EGD in the future.
Re: my XG800E Experience:
It was very difficult to start-up and keep running at first. The oil level was correct, there was gas in the tank, fuel shut-of was "ON", seemed to be spark, but wouldn't start-up. I found a "U" bend in the gas line at the fuel shut-off, which might cause the problem - it was facing upward before turning downward to the carb. I only had about 2 gals of gas in the tank and don't think there was enough weight to push it through. I rotated the "U" bend downward and it seems ok now. Nonetheless, I start the engine every few days to gain confidence in it. It's been ok for the last week.
The handle bar lock mechanism broke the second time I lifted the generator to move it out of my garage. It's been about 2 weeks since the repair shop ordered the part and I'm waiting for it to arrive and be installed.
I am surprised at the problems that I've experienced with my generator. Generac does have a reputation for quality products and all the reviews of the 5747 are positive. I do hope to gain confidence that my XG8000E will be a reliable source of power when I need it in the future.
Re: Accessories:
The Century and Powermate 30A cables are as expected. The Classic large cover fits the XG8000E perfectly.

My Preparation is Complete...
My wife & I live in a part of PA on a grid we call the "Unlucky 13". We loose power so many times a year, I just wish PECO would get their act together. For years we "hemmed & hawed" on getting a generator. I tried to wrestle through Hurricane Irene with a (1200 - 2400 watt) power inverter. Even though it was directly hooked up to my running car with the proper heavy wire gauge (not jumper cables) after 2 hours it gave up the ghost on my one-third HP sump pump. I bailed for 4 hours. The next day I couldn't pick up a generator fast enough.
As an Engineer, I wanted to hook it up right so I turned to Electric Generators Direct for a By-pass kit and, of course, the 25 foot power cord. This is the only way to go. What I like about this cord is the heavy duty construction and sealed connectors… it's a monster. I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to it but I am SO prepared for the next emergency.
I KNOW it's going to tic-off my neighbors because as my wife wisely said, "Misery loves company." But, misery won't be stopping at MY house.

And ComEd didn't let me down. Four days after having transfer switch installed, ComEd is down for six hours. Our neighborhood is cursed. My one practice run through after installation made things go perfectly. Generator fired right up, flipped a few switches and we had lights, TV, fans, freezer and fridge and peace of mind. Only house in neighborhood that had power. And I was worrying that I had talked my wife into a big ticket item that we would hardly use. She's Generac's biggest fan now.
Only two concerns: I was told in a q and a with your firm that unit was made in the U.S. Not the case. Made in China. I would have gone to a bigger model to get made in the USA. And ad on the web site talked of "handles." But model has only one, which is ok for me but more difficult for my wife.

Peace of Mind
I live in a rural area and the power goes out frequently. Now I have peace of mind because the Briggs & Stratton Electric Generator and 30 amp Cable worked as promised. Thank You Electric Generators Direct!
P.S. Your sale price was nothing short of amazing!

Top Rated Generator
I wrote an email about what I wanted to do and received quick helpful information--that I used.
Ordered Generac generator model 5626, outside inlet box, and manual transfer switch with 10 interchangeable circuits.
Got ready to put it all together and needed the power cord for the generator and ordered it.
Got an electrician to put it all together. After it was all hooked up, it ran perfect.
Generac generators are top rated and I can clearly see why.
I would recommend this company.

Got Everything I Need At One Place
Plain and simple, lost power a few times. Basement flooded bad, (3 inches deep), started researching online. First thing was what to do for back up power. Next was best way to do it. So I needed s system that would supply power for house as well as power for sump pump. I looked into the whole back feeding thing and even asked a bunch of people. All answers came back bad . After research online i found the best prices and help from this company. I had a pro come to house and hook this system up. He was very impressed with the ease of putting this system in and adding it to my electrical panel as well. As he said only thing better would be to have a auto switch rather then my manual one. If your not certain on what to do or what you will need, call them they will walk you threw anything and everything, and hey what a concept, you get to talk with a live English speaking person who knows this stuff inside out and backwards .

Installation Success
All purchases showed up quickly and in good condition. The pre-wired transfer switch w/ instructions were easy to follow and thorough to make the hook up with the main panel selected circuits complete.
After completion of the installation I did a test of the whole unit and we now feel more confident of not having a complete power failure in an emergency.

First class equipment, honest company
I just want to pass along the excellent service and equipment your company provides.
I placed an order and within days the components started to arrive, and the generator was delivered right to my doorstep.
I received this equipment just as the second major snow storm arrived in Texas.
First class equipment and a wonderful, honest company- need I say anymore?!
