Quick connect generator cable

A quick connect generator cable electrically coupling a generator to a main breaker panel for selectively supplying power to a plurality of breakers enclosed within the main breaker panel, the quick connect generator cable comprising:

• a power cable including a plurality of electrical wires encased within a protective barrier, each of the plurality of wires including a sheath having a designated color;
• a male connector coupled to the distal end of the power cable and including electrical prongs, one end of each of the plurality of electrical wires electrically connected to the electrical prongs;
• the male connector removably attachable to a female receptacle on a generator via a twist lock connection;
• a switch housing comprising a front wall, a back wall, two end walls, a top wall and a bottom wall that are joined together to form an inner chamber for housing the breaker switch, the top wall includes a top cable opening receiving a proximate end of the power cable, a first cable opening receiving one end of a neutral cable wire, a second cable opening receiving one end of a ground cable, and at least one bottom wire opening, the neutral and ground cable electrically connected to the electrical prongs;
• wherein the switch housing may include protective seals provided around the perimeter of each cable opening, and each wire opening to prevent water, dust or debris from entering the switch housing;
• at least one electrical switch housed within the switch housing, the electrical switch electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of electrical wires;
• and
• a first power wire connected to the electrical switch, and a second power wire connected to either the electrical switch, or directly to one of the electrical prongs, the power wires extending through the at least one bottom wire opening.
