Product QuestionsAnswered by Jared, the Generator Expert
Hi Jim! I have the GP550 and 20' 30a (4 outlet) cable. I was told to balance the load and try to split the power per circuit. Since the unit HAS 4 120v outlets on the unit, how do I effectively split the load with the 4-in one twistlock cable. Technically, if I used all 4 - would that be split? Or, would I need to use a couple of the outlets ON the unit itself. I'm a little confused. Thanks in advance!

Answer
The 2 outlets on the left of the cords block are tied to one winding in the alternator, the 2 on the right connect to the other, each flow thru their own breaker (the twist-lock breaker is 2 pole). If you had, as an example, 2 sump pumps, plug each into different sides of the cord-set & it will help balance your loading.

I have been researching "convenience cords" and noticed that this cord seems to have the red/blue "balance" that is like the Powermate 30-Amp Convenience Cord. Is this cord "balanced" like the Powermate 30-Amp Convenience Cord?

Thank you for your interest in Electric Generators Direct!
The Generac 6112, 30-amp convenience cord can be considered a balanced cord. This product features a 30-amp twist lock plug that will split the 240 volt current into 4-20 amp, 120 volt receptacles. Technically, there will be two outlets per 120 volt leg.

Answer
Sorry, you cannot use model 6112 cord with your Generac GP3250 (5982) generator. Your generator has a 20A 4-Prong outlet so any power cord you want to use must be 20A 4-prong and have twist-lock cord end L14-20.
