Yes an adapter can be made. You must keep in mind that the US generator's speed is set for 60 Hz generation. The frequency of a generator is governed by the RPM of the engine. If the generator has speed control on it, it will have to be turned down so that the frequency meter reads 50 Hz.

What are the dangers of pigtail surge protector?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.There are no dangers to using a pigtail surge protector. The installation of the protector must be done correctly though. The pigtails must not be installed on an existing circuit that has an existing load on it unless the breaker is approved for more than one circuit load on it. The protector must use a new two pole breaker with no additional load on it except the surge protector. This is the correct procedure to connect a pigtail surge protector to a distribution panel board.


When running outlets in a series can you still use the outlet itself as a coupler or do you have to pigtail the wires then feed the outlet?

Just firmly connect the wires under the screws and that will couple them. Each outlet has two hot and two neutral screws; just connect the wires appropriately and make certain that the outlet is properly grounded.
