Our old generator has finally given up the ghost. The one I have replaced it with is more powerful (7250-8000 volts vs's4500) We have the right cable buried in the ground leading to a shed where generator is then going to a "gentran switch" located next to circuit board. The old 30amp plug would not fit in new receptacle. I purchased a new and just installed a Leviton #2611 (30A-125V, L050P) following the same procedure as the old receptical (also a Leviton). The green ground wire is directly attached to the grounding screw on the generator, the black wire was connected hot (gold) screw, the red wire (also hot) was connected to the (silver) or neutral screw and the white (neutral) was connected to the ground screw. I think this is correct, but I am not sure. I would appreciate any input from anyone.
