I recently got a Champion 4000wpeak/3500w continuous generator that has a 1
20v 30a output. I hooked up my elec panel with a 30a breaker with an interlock, ran a 10/4 and a generator inlet box outside. I made up my own extension SJ cord with a standard generator female plug at one end to plug in the inlet box, and o n the generator side is a 30A 120v plug that has both red and black bonded together inside the plug to make both sides of elec panel live. Now the only 220 device I have is my CAC, which I would not run anyway, but I was just curious, what would happen if you accidentally fed a 220v devic e with 2 hots of the same phase? Would anything happen? I'm thinking nothin g would happen, it would just be dead, and no damage would be done since no current would flow.- posted
