Depending on the size, brand, and its purpose, generators can have many different combinations of connectors. A pretty standard generator that can be used for many different purposes has 3 different connections: a NEMA L14-30R female connector, a NEMA TT-30R female connector, and a NEMA 5-20R female connector. The other common connections you may see on a generator are NEMA L14-20R and NEMA L5-30R. There will be different connections depending on the power it can put out and the standard the manufacturer built it with. This video will go over the possibilities of what each of these connectors can be used for.
