Maybe someone can help me out. I've always used a double male in some configuration to power a home (that's not hardwired) with a portable generator. Yes, I understand the risk, so I mitigate it when I can. I've never seen a portable genset with a female tap, so that requires at least one male end on the cord. I like to use a twistlock tap because I feel it's more secure. On the house end, either you use another male, or you tap into a male outlet on the house. Either way, you're using two males. I use a California Style (CS) plug on the cord that provides some shielding protection, but it still requires caution. There is no free ride or exception for stupidity. If I leave the breakers open on the genset and panel until everything is hooked up, that's about the best I can do to avoid injury. I reverse the procedure when switching back to grid power.
If someone knows of another way to hook up a portable generator to a residential panel other than hard tap, I'd appreciate some help. NEMA numbers for the connectors if you know them.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
