>Yes, I know the risks.
Then you know there is a better alternative. Picture related. Which you clearly DON'T know about, which means you are an idiot. Idiots should never be sold products they 'think' should exist.

>>2993094 (OP)
this is /diy/, take two extension cords and wire/solder/electrical tape up a 4-way hazard monster for ultimate flexibility

>>2993100
It’s still got the male pins with potentially high voltage on them.
There has got to be a better solution.

>>2993094 (OP)
practical use?

>>2993158
you plug one end into ur generator and the other end into a socket

>>2993153
60309 version of this but one where there is also an electrical isolation switch which is interlocked and cannot be connected until a plug is fully inserted and stops the plug being removed until switched off again.

But I would suggest most people who need a gen often enough to add a socket for it might as well hardwire it into a supply changeover switch and build a little shed around it or something to keep it in permanently.

>>2993153
It shouldn't ever be wired up so it could do that. That's the point. The male prongs there are never hot. They are sitting there cold waiting for you to plug an extension cord in, and then your connex box or whatever will be powered.


And this way you never had to make a suicide plug.

That should only be on the cold side of the connection. You can get them for running the power for a wall-mounted TV down. They're literally just as dangerous as an unplugged power cord.

The reason male-male cords aren't allowed is because you can plug one end into the hot and have exposed pins with a live charge.

>>2993176
so you want to power an entire house through a flimsy plug made for powering home appliance?
why don't you just pour some gasoline on your house and set it on fire?

>>2993094 (OP)
I would kinda like one of these someday, but this is because my house breaker is actually secondary to a larger breaker outside the house, meaning, I could switch off the breaker that powers the indoor breaker box, and therefore power the inside of the house without sending power back out onto the grid. I doubt YOUR house is like this though.
it also means I'd lack powering my fridge, sadly, because it is on that outdoor breaker box, but oh well.

Anyone ever use anderson connectors to connect their generator to their main panel. I've been looking for some sort of plug solution robust enough to handle the amperages I want to potentially generate. Have a 200A pto generator. I'm thinking a sub box off my main box with some short beefy wires and anderson connectors with an interlock in the main box where you can't turn power on to them unless the main is disconnected.

Some kind of sliding shutter linked to the main switch that covers the anderson connector when the switch is on and prevents turning it on if there's an anderson plugged in?

>>2993094 (OP)
Kid, most people think dipping any live wire of any strength into water turns the water into a death zone. For the love of fuck, never underestimate the depths of human stupidity.

>>2993779
I mean, you're forgetting that these can also be used to plug two hot outlets together and burn your house down.

>>2993094 (OP)
Clearly you do need to be lectured
>>2993100
OP's stupid ass waste of a thread destroyed by one answer
>>2993153
By that logic, so does any appliance that you plug in. These receptacles are used on the downstream side and so the pins will never be exposed at the same time they are hot.

>>2993789
>can also be
don't forget about the fact that you can drop a toaster into a bathtub and fucking die or something

>>2993793
And no store has to provide you with something objectively stupid to sell that could be liability traced back to them.

>>2993789
I don't think anything bad would happen unless you cross the wires but you can't do that with a ground plug on there

Unless your house was wired by a retard electrician.

>>2993848
Would be a good way to test for improperly wired outlets.

With an outlet tester. Cheap ones are $5. Slightly better ones are like $8. If you are paying more than that you are getting scammed.

Aliexpress probibly sells them!

>>2993094 (OP)
they should sell this as pride month special
call them bigots until they cave in

>>2993956
Lol. Someone needs to go in and talk about getting some male on male cord action and pressure them into it.

>>2993963

just buy a male plug end, cut off the female end of a cord and make your own.

>>2993823
If you plug the two ends into two different circuits they'll potentially be out of phase with each other and pass quite a lot of current before the breakers trip. Enough to cause sparks, melted insulation, general excitement, possibly fire.

>>2994020
>two different circuits
well of fucking course you don't want to bridge two different circuits but I'm picturing plugging it into the top and bottom plugs of a singular outlet (or maybe two outlets on the same breaker......?) and I don't think anything would happen in that case
maybe I wouldn't be willing to bridge two outlets on the same breaker but come on, both plugs in one outlet, there's no way it blows up

>>2994186
And like congress, it is fucking useful how fuckwit?

>>2994203
yea that's a good point idk what you'd accomplishing really

>>2993094 (OP)
I hope you fucking kill yourself and not someone else you stupid cunt. I got zapped by one of these last week in some dudes van. He also blew up his inverter when he plugged the van into mains at the same time.

>first time touching mains voltage
buck up buttercup

>>2993094 (OP)
You don't need it.
And if you really needened it, you could've just made it yourself.
By the way, the board is called /diy/ not /biy/.

>>2993100
Only way for that to become hot is if you bypass the interlock feeding mains to the circuit and end up back feeding that outlet

>>2993094 (OP)
Why don't you just /diy/ one?

>>2995683
If you're smart enough to diy one, you'd be smart enough to know why this is a bad idea

>>2993094 (OP)
Err goyim because of liability reasons you can't have this

can americans not buy power plugs that open up and have screw terminals inside for each wire?
WHAT DO YOU EVEN NEED THAT FOR?
