D Smith,

I plan to run 10ga wire from the L14-30 inlet to two 5-15R duplex
outlets. The length of this run will be about 12-24inches. Does this
configuration sound safe?

Thanks,
Chris

OK. But if the 15A receptacle is the only 15A-rated part of that, then
it's at the receptacle and the device that the over-current condition will
exist.

Again, not remembering the details of the original post, it sounded
like the individual was going to run several outlets off the generator. If
he is using 14ga wire everywhere, and does NOT have 15A breakers in there
somewhere, he will not be code compliant. Overheated wire inside the wall
is not a good idea.
