The 30A receptacle is on the generator. All the devices I power are unplugged from the house receptacles and connect to the 30A on the generator via a few extension cords and power strips. No power is ever fed back into the house wiring. I've thought about fitting a transfer switch, but as we might lose power for +/- 12-14 hours for the whole year, just couldn't justify the cost.
