So, I'm going with the modified suicide cord method, I took a dryer cord and hooked the terminals to the two hots in in my old onan CCCk5 and the neutral bus in the genny's jbox. Plugged the dryer cord into a dryer outlet in garage. Garage 220 circuit has 30amp two pole breaker.

Should I bother grounding the gen to the Ufer ground in the garage???

So here's the plan: power goes out at 16:00- 17:00, When PGE shuts me down, I throw the main, plug my sui-cord in, flip 30amp 2 pole for garage outlet on, start genny, (oh forgot I will turn off all the loads in the house. Then once gen fires up turn on loads I need (refers, lights etc.

Just tie into whatever the drier plug gives you. You should only have 4 connections.

Quit posting /pol/ bait on our board, we all know those cities have high murder rates, and it isn’t gun control, but don’t bring it here and shit up this board.

That's enough niggers. If we removed the rest the U.S. would go down to 195 out of 193.

What is with the flood of /pol/ degeneracy here?

Not that you deserve to have electricity, but yes ground your genset and also remember to turn your main breaker off when you connect your contraption so you don't barbecue the poor lineman expecting a dead pole transformer

Before grounding the generator to your house's ground, make sure that ground isn't connected to neutral in your main panel. If your house is properly grounded, however, I'd certainly recommend it.

St Louis does not have strict gun control laws. They arent allowed to make any by the state. And Missouri gun laws are pretty lax. No permits necessary.

That's literally the only place it's SUPPOSED to be connected.

Actually, ground is supposed to be connected to a nearby grounding rod, while neutral returns to the ground on the transformer.
