The cord is designed to connect male to your 50 generator outlet and female to your Reliance entry point box. The female side is a twist lock connector and will work withe the Reliance box. The connector is keyed and sometimes difficult to turn if new. I suggest you hire a qualified electrician to perform the installation .

Not all plugs are twist lock. My best advice is to use a reliance plug with a reliance box, or a generac plug with a generac box. If you call reliance, they will tell you never to use a plug with this outlet that doesn't twist. Not safe.

Make sure it is a heavy duty extension cord with a polarized plug, and make sure you match the taller sides. I got mine at Home Depot, and it works for me for what it's worth. (I got the heaviest 100' cord they had, and they don't come cheap).

You will need to wire in a male receptacle which will accept the female plug on a normal generator power cord. I used the following:Reliance Controls PB30 L14-30 30 Amp Generator Power Cord Inlet Box For Up To 7,500 Watt Generators, and Conntek 20601-020 20-Feet, 30-Amp 125/250-Volt L14-30P/R , 4 Prong Transfer Switch Cord/Generator Extension CordHope that helps.

Mine is packed away...so, here goes. On the handle you will see the two voltages and I think you need a little screw driver to turn the inside nut to point to the one you want. I have another one that has a switch...the principle is the same.

Each prong on the plug is a different shape. Match them up to the corresponding holes and then turn it clockwise to "lock in" the plug.

It's not a twist lock but these plugs are normally hard to pull out. The one I have takes some effort to pull out.

it is a 50amp three prong, and it does twist to lock.i was a big dummy and bought a 50 foot cord without looking at the hookup on the trailer, it is 3 prong 50 amp.hope this helps.

Only way to know is to determine if it matches with the your generator's input/output receptacle's configuration. Rating will differ but not prong layout. This is a twist lock plug. Clipping or crimping off prongs is never advisable.layout determines the amp usage.

Mine came with 220 volt twist lock. I had to purchase and convert to NEMA 650P to match my outlet.

Make sure that the electrical cord sits in the recess and not on the lid. The wheel should turn if the top and bottom flange are seated.

I just push the cord into the opening that holds the plug. I also use the customer service # located in the instruction booklet,1866-273-8455,it was difficult to get thru but eventually my question was anserd.

CHECK all cords make sure you have right power and switched right then 100%to start.If that don't work send ballast back. they have bin really good replacing bad or defective.

Mine works fine, all three inlets. You may need to push harder on the plug to insert, or you may have a defective part.

Sorry, I don't have any suggestions. Fortunately, the one I ordered worked exactly like it was described. You are the second person to have trouble with this item. I would return it!

I had similar issues myself. I just messed with the cord a whole and it started back working. This was a waste of my money.

It is the 50 amp model and yes you do twist to lock before tightening the ring, but then I really never tried to tighten the ring without locking the plug in place and I dont know if the electrical circuit would be complete without locking the plug.

Dear Amazon Friend, YES ! My cord is certainly a Twist-lock connecting cord. It twist locks onto my generator and it twist locks onto my house mounted service box. Both ends. Not sure why it doesn't specify on this cord ? It is my understanding that all of these types of cords are a TWIST TYPE. But maybe I think that because all cords like this I've ever seen, did use a twist type locking end. Extra side note: This is a heavy duty, top quality made cord. Thick and strong, yet stays flexible in bad weather. I use this 40' cord when the weather is good but the storm has knocked me out. I leave the generator outside. When the weather is bad, like a long term hurricane situation with heavy downpours, I attach another 10' cord to this 40' cord and can then keep my generator under the cover of my carport. This brand cord works so well, I have no problem with the connection between the 2 cords either. They twist easily into each other and seal out the rain. Yes I do like this cord, and I'm picky and checked out many before making my purchase. Good Luck.
