Short answer: the Westinghouse WGen9500DFc has both a 120/240V L14-30R outlet and a 120/240V 14-50R outlet. It also has two duplex 120V 5-20R household-style outlets.
Why the outlet name does not equal generator output
A 50-amp-style receptacle does not mean this generator can continuously produce 50 amps at 240V. Westinghouse publishes the gasoline running output at about 39.5 amps at 240V and propane at about 35 amps at 240V.
Which outlet should you use for home backup?
That depends on the transfer equipment, inlet, cable, breaker arrangement, and load plan. Match the generator connection to a properly designed system rather than choosing the connector simply because one plug has a larger amp number.
Can it connect to a transfer switch?
Westinghouse lists the WGen9500DFc as transfer-switch ready. That describes generator capability, not permission to improvise a connection to household wiring. A proper transfer mechanism prevents dangerous backfeeding.
