OK, I'm finally recovering from the storm. Man, being without internet
really makes you realize how isolated you are. In fact, many times during
the outage, I wanted to ask questions on this list but couldn't! 8>(
OK, the first of my questions...
I have a generator that I can run the house with. I added an outlet and a
transfer switch. Here is the problem.
The outlet is a 50amp 4 pin outlet (standard fitting). The outlet needs
to be mounted on a covered porch. So, I need an outlet rated for 'wet
locations' but I can't find one.
so, my questions is either...
What can I use to 'cover' the normal interior outlet to shelter it form
the elements (note, it is covered and doesn't get direct sunlight where it
is) or
Where can I get a weather proof 50 amp outlet?
Thanks.
