Yes, I understand that a 50 amp connection is two 120 volt legs. The generator has a L14-30 receptacle so it has two hots, a neutral, and a ground. I am using a proper adapter to go from a L14-30 receptacle to a 50 amp RV receptacle. I was NOT running 240 volts into appliances designed for 120 volt. The issue appears to be that when a compressor starts it pulls too much juice.
My real question I guess is how do I get all 5,500 watts out of the generator considering it won't start air conditioners using the 120/240 volt receptacle? There is a 120 volt 30 amp receptacle, but that is only rated for 3,600 watts. I have used the 30 amp receptacle and everything works fine.
