When purchasing a generator, you may notice that some of the outlets look completely different than the others. The outlet will be circular with 3 or 4 curved terminals outlining the edge of the outlet. What are they? Why do generators specifically need them?

In this video, you will learn about the different reasons locking outlets are necessary for generators. We will go over their various benefits and different locations they can be used in.

If you need help identifying which locking outlet you have on your generator or need to adapt a locking outlet for something else, please give us a call, shoot us a text or email us. We are proud to provide the widest variety of power solutions available on the market.
