Dual power inlet for portable generator

An apparatus for safely recombining split power output from a portable electric generator, the apparatus comprising:

• a first receptacle configured to receive a first power cord delivering a first electrical power from a first output of the portable electric generator;
• a second receptacle configured to receive a second power cord delivering a second electrical power from a second output of the portable electric generator;
• a first three-pole relay electrically coupled to the first receptacle for preventing reverse current flow;
• a second three-pole relay electrically coupled to the second receptacle for preventing reverse current flow;
• a terminal block electrically connected to the first and second three-pole relays for combining the first and second electrical power from the first and second power cords to provide a combined electrical power output equal to a sum of the first and second electrical power;
• and
• a 220/240 V coil relay electrically connected to the first and second receptacles via respective hot wires, the 220/240 V coil relay being configured to actuate only upon receiving a combined voltage of 240 V when the hot wires are appropriately phased,
• wherein the combined electrical power output flows through the terminal block when the 220/240 V coil relay is actuated and only one of the first and second electrical power flows through the terminal block when 220/240 V coil relay is not actuated.
