There are options other than wire nuts, try asking at your local electrical supplier, look up Burndy inline splice

Why not consider a MEP-002a or do you have some larger loads than typical house

Tim292stro, I think you may have spent too much time on the left coast, while electrical inspectors are getting more common throughout the U.S. there are still many areas where there is no code enforcement. In Louisiana where I live it is still very spotty outside of the city limits, and I...

I have to ask are you aware that the full rated load fuel consumption on a MEP-003a is around 1 gallon per hour, 10KW is really a lot of sustained load for an off grid house.

Sorry yes, I think you are correct, in my original post I was speaking conceptually from the common household wiring concept on wire counts, not on specifics of the connection. Ike p.s. To follow up on this in 120/240 single phase mode on the generator the wires would need to go like this...

You need to run 4 that is FOUR wires from the generator to the breaker box L1, L2 (the two hots) L0 (the neutral) and a ground wire, you also need to drive a ground rod at the generator and make sure L0 and frame ground are bonded (usually already done by a ground bond jumper on the back side...

I also think you need to get some help on this, these things can kill you if not done right. As to the wire size you will want a minimum of 4 conductors of #6 wire for the MEP-003a in 120/240 single phase mode. You may possibly need #4 wire if the generator is more than 100 feet from your...
