Ice Storm Coming--Range Charge?

That you connect the Neutral pin on the outlet to the Ground pin. Since you can't do that in the UMC adapter plug, you must do it on the generator side. Most generators have at least two 120V outlets, no ? You could then buy a 5-15 plug, connect Neutral & Ground with a short jumper wire, and plug that plug into the other 120V outlet.

To use the L14-30 you'd have to make an adapter to 14-50 or whatever adapter you have. You can then do the jumper wire inside one of the plugs on the adapter wire.

Thanks, I think I understand. So the grounding on the generator isn't adequate and a secondary ground, directly to the ground on the plug is necessary if I understand.

I have 4 120v outlets and the one L14-30:
