The 50 amp receptical will not be a three prong receptacle it will be a 3-pole 4-wire grounding receptacle. It will be a 125/250 volt rating NEMA number 14–50R. The red and black wires connect to the X and Y terminals, the white wire to the W terminal and the ground wire to the G terminal.

What is the function of the 'ground' prong?
Basically, Your ground prong is essential to protecting you from being in contact with an "unsuspecting Live current flow." It eliminates YOU as the primary grounding to whatever your plug is supplying power to, and sends any current flow, manually drawn (like touching it), into the ground prong.

How do you make an extension cord that would be a four-prong male plug on one end and a three-prong outlet on the other for 240V 50A that would plug into a generator to power a welder?
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.A four-prong socket on the generator implies that it's a 3-phase generator.The welder appears to be single-phase load working at 240 v 50 A but provided the generator is rated at 415 v 36 kVA that means it can supply 240 v 50 A on each phase, between line and neutral.Given the voltage and power of the generator an electrician should be employed to identify the socket correctly, do the wiring and ensure earthing is correctly completed. Without this the system is dangerous, someone could get electrocuted.
