I just got a new welder and plan on running it off my generator but the plugs are not compatible. The welder has a 6-50 3-prong plug, the generator has L14-30 and 14-50, both 4-prong outlets. I assume I can just wire up a cord with a L14-30 plug and 6-50R receptacle and just drop / disregard the neutral? Does this sound right? The welder input current is less than 30 amps.
Also my 5th wheel has the standard 30A 120V plug and my generator only has regular outlets for 120V. Can I use the L14-50 generator outlet and convert to 120V 30A receptacle that uses one of the hot legs and neutral? I understand I can get an adapter to plug into a standard outlet (which I already have) but I can imagine many scenarios where 15-20A might be limiting.
