Are you using 2 sets of sensors? the set in the picture and a second set clamped on the generator feed?

The white/black wires under the cover go to sensors for an Efergy energy monitor system that shows the Watts being used...they just go to clamp on sensor and have no voltage passing through them to speak of....I could clean that up some. I use it to measure the electrical energy use...I have it wired so It also show the generator load when on emergency power. The wires go to a battery operated transmitter that sends the info to a wireless display.

Yeah one of the covers looks crooked in the picture...but it is not when closed.
Yes the male cord is a generator inlet, I used the RV 120 Volt 30 amp homemade inlet because I have plenty of those extension cords already and it goes into the 30 amp RV plug on my Champion....thought about improving that in the future.
The square box is a whole home surge protector.
The EVSE is the charging cable for my Nissan Leaf EV.
cleaner pic.
I didn't pick the paint..bought the house like that...the picture below has some reflection from the tail light of my truck on it...FYI
I originally had the sensor outside...but moved the transmitter inside for a better signal...

The problem is with the short generator stub cord. Now you have to stand there and hold the generator in the air while in use.
