Before anybody jumps the gun on the orange wire that I used, from the
breaker box, to the 50 amp plug, the wire is ROMEX SIMpull 10/3 with
ground which according to my electrician, is good for short runs like
this in dry locations, it does not get hot when used to power my shop
and sections of the rental property electrical system. the breaker
box is just there for added security, as the power going to it is
tapped off of the breaker box in the generator compartment.
