what type extension cord for generator
L5-20 and L5-30 Cords â 120V. Many of the higher end portable generators have a L5-30R outlet. This is handy as it allows you to connect a L5-30P to the generator and use a multiple type 5 outlet at the other end allowing you to use 2 or 3 tools or appliances that use less than the total rated amps or 3600 watts.
