[QUOTE="bore_pig, post: 1251267, member: 20845"] As a sparky, I know how to do it with no risk to the tired lineman! More likely the scenario, you forget to open the main breaker to your house. Power Co restores your service. Guess what? Your generator is not in sync. Your generator being toast will likely be the least of your problems. [I]Potential for a panel explosion![/I] I am not recommending a do it yourself backfeed setup. However, I realize that I will not be able to talk everyone out of doing it. [I][B]So I will again say, Only backfeed with a homemade setup when absolutely necessary! And only if you understand what you are doing, how electricity works, and what could happen if something goes wrong.[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
