It sounds like you are just getting 120vac instead of 240vac. Check your cord, and plug connections.I have hooked up a 30 amp interlock switch to my main panel run off my generator. However, only my light switches work none of my plug-ins have any power. Any input would be helpful. Thanks.

It's the same voltage in Canada as in the USA.He's in Canada

My generator is a 30 amp 120 V

Most installations are two-phase (split) 120V - 0V - 120V so it you do the simple and obvious you only get half the panel powered up. To run a typical USA house fully you need a generator has 120-0-120 out and a suitable transfer switch for both L and some means to deal with N.I know. But Megawatt said

Surely a Canadian (or. USA) genny would be expected to produce 120v. ??
