Hi Fred, well there are a number of plugs in use, but I like to use the
50AMP Range Plug. It's a giant connector, uses (3) 1/2 inch wide blades in a
"Y", and oddly enough, is one of the least expensive. This is the "standard"
around my place for amps, generator outputs,as well as welders, compressors
etc. A pigtail with an inline socket can adapt it down to the "other"
standard connectors.
