I am aware of the difference, the question remains: can you plug your home standby generator 30a cord into the 30a MH inlet?

Ok, that is pretty succinct. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Only thing left for me to do is line them up in real life. They look so close.

That would prevent what I was afraid might happen, Thanks for pointing that out. I see it in the reference pics from an earlier post.

I think we're done here. I appreciate everyone's patience.
Thanks all.

Many of us have portable inverter generators or open frame generators that have a TT-30R outlet built into them. Most people don't have standby generators at their brick & mortar homes. My Champion 3500-4000 watt generator works just fine if I lose power at home. All I need to do is get water from somewhere else because my well is 240 volts.
