Generator connection amps?
I have a 20 amp, 4 prong inlet on my house. I just bought an 8000 watt, 30 amp 4 prong generator. Will that work? Amp wise.

The extension cord connected to the (female) receptacle that plugs onto the inlet may not have a (male) plug at the other end rated more than 20 amps which other end may not be plugged into a source delivering more than 20 amps.(... unless such cord has a box in the middle containing a breaker or other overcurrent protection for not more than 20 amps.)

Yes you can by using a 30 Amp 240-Volt to 20 Amp 240-Volt Outlet Adapter. Home Depot sells them. SKU #1000029737
