THis is the generator I want to install, 6800 Watt Portable Genearator ELECTRIC START (http://www.powermate.com/generators/product_detail.php?model=PM0676800&cat_id=3&w=79)
# Wattage
* Running Watts: 6800 Watts
* Maximum Watts: 8500 Watts
my plan is to mount a box on the outside of the house, with the 120-240V L14-30R inlet, so I can plug a extension cord if I need it or move the generator when I don't need it. Now my question is, do I use #6 copper for x y w and ground in a rubber jacket wire ? If that is so I am assuming x is pulling 30 amps and y is pulling 30 amps, which means that I need the 60 amp panel! Is my thinking right ? Thanks guys for you input in advanced!
