Conntek YL1430520S 30 4 Prong to 15/20 Amp Generator Y-Adapter, Yellow/Blue

Bought this adapter (DEC 2013) to use with my Duromax XP4400E generator (purchased 2010). Had previously been using 2-120v outlets to run test appliances up to 1400w total, with gennie-switch set on 120v. Y-Adapter plugs in fine (it IS heavy duty!) into the L1430 plug, gennie switch set to 240v, lights on two splitter 120v ends lit up perfectly. Ran two separate "legs" of (a)1325w and (b)1350-1500w from the 2 plugs of the Y-Adapter. This adapter is AMAZING. Taking full advantage of the generator's power is critical. I did NOT attempt to max-out its potential of 1750w per "side" (3500 running watts total.) At one point the gennie really groaned, and "loaded-Up" until I stabilized the load, but then ran fine. That's the generator, not the adapter. If you really want to take full advantage of your generator's potential power using its 30-amp L1430 plug, get one of these adapters. The locking plug is essential if you're using a gen-cord-to-transfer switch, but using this adapter and heavy duty (12 ga.) extension cords and power strips will provide for portability, and maximum-emergency-power use. Wattages were monitored using Reliance AmWatt meters THP103 (yup, Amazon,) on each leg, allowing for balancing of the load, which is very important. This Y-Adapter works, and allows you to max-out the power potential of your generator's 30-amp L1430 plug. I highly recommend it. I hope I never have to use it. Better to have it, and not need it.... Great Product! Thanks Conntek! Thanks Amazon! UPDATE: 3/16/14: Well... I had to use it... And I'm glad I did! The central Wyoming blackout of 3/14-15/2014 went on for 7 hours. Seems a "critter" crawled into an electrical sub-station, got "fried," and turned out most of the lights across the entire town!... After the first 30-minutes of no lights, I thought "OK, here we go!" Fired up the gennie, plugged in the Conntek Y adapter, ran my extension cords, and never worried about the loads. Freezer, wood stove & some lights on one side, fridge and some lights on the other. Never a whimper... Sure glad I bought it... Peace of mind... Full generator power... When you need it the most! Thanks again, Conntek... And Amazon...! UPDATE: 12/11/14:: Price has jumped $2.00 in one year from $29.12 to its present. If you're thinking about it, ya better get one now, before they're all gone, or out of your price range. jus sayin'....

This cord works great and very high quality and perfect length. Easy to use and has a good connection and I like the color. Recommend.

If you have a 220 generator this is a must. I can operate two more power tools at 110 rather than having to plug in and out all the time. I marked one line for when I switch the generator to 110. Well made and worth the money.

Haven't used it yet, but it's exactly what I wanted and seems like a good, sturdy cable for utilizing both 120V phases from my generator. Came quickly and sufficiently packaged.

i seldom write reviews but though i would in this case because their is so much confusion concerning Home Power Generators and their accessories.. the Conntek Y adapter is in use on my Honda 6500is generator and allows me to convert the 240volt 4 wire receptacle to 2 seperate 20amp receptacles by simply pushing the 120/240 rocker switch to 240 only ..This leaves the 30amp R.V 3 wire receptacle and 2 20amp receptacles open.Esentially the adapter allows the user full use of the generators power. However you must balance the generators load because their are 2 seperate electrical circuits on this type of generator..A simialr option can be done through the 30amp receptacle which is a 3 wire plug with-out the load balance problem ..In any case , you can't beat the price for the quality. For those interested in a Home Power Generator that works flawlessly and is incredibly quiet, This is it ..I did make 1 change to the generator by converting it to a Tri-fuel setup so i could use Propane which is so much cleaner & Safer & cheaper than gasoline...Anyway , Goodluck with the plug, StaySafe..

I bought this to gain 2 aux outlets on my generator, it not only worked wonderfully, but is such a great and easy to have tool i am getting a few more for the future. The cord is exactly as it looks, short but long enough to flex around and even tie your extension cord on to the end to prevent falling out. Without tearing it apart the jacket are a little over 1/2" thick so i completely thing they will handle well over 30amps, the twist lock is firm and overall the rubber feels strong and flexible. I am using this with a few ridged twist lock extension cords on a 240 single phase circuit to gain 2 extra outlets for large outdoor lighting systems.

bought"used" from amazon..only thing used was bag had been opened. would buy used from amazon again

je suis fier d'etre bien Équiper MERCI pour ce matériel de qualité

It looks very well made but unfortunately I ordered the wrong plug for my Champion 2000 w inverter gen (pair of) to use with the paralleling kit. This plug is for 120/240 v output . I needed a 120 volt output 3 pin not 4 . I will return & reorder correct plug.

This is a heavy duty cable and quality is 5 stars -- the product is exactly as shown. I am still amazed at the quality of cable for the price. Purchased this to utilize the additional power from the other side of a Champion generator.

good product
