You want to connect your generator s 220 volt receptacle to the circuitry of your house. Start with a heavy 10 gauge copper wire. Skin the top outside layer back 18 inches on one end. Now skin back about 1 inch of the plastic shell around the wire to expose the copper. Attach the other end to a male plug that fits into your generator s 220 volt receptacle.
Brown wire is ground wire Blue wires represent the black and white wires.
The black and white wires connect to the two bottom connections that connect to your house. Go to the fuse box and flip it to the off position and try again. With the appropriate generator you will be able to cook with one eye on the stove and refrigerate foods, use overhead lights, play the TV, radio or computer. We suggest a 5,000 watt generator if possible. If your generator is a lower wattage you may be limited in the cooking but hot showers are possible.
