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.
