Lets note what sound and legal technical advice Bison had to offer?
Quote "You guys are way to scared.
I've been back feeding my 6500 watt china junk generator in a 3 prong welding plug for years, never had a problem
Matter of fact it is running as i type this post,...power went out at 5 pm.
YES i flipped the breaker at the pole,..i always do.
Hey Bubba yourself.
I asked the Power line man supervisor if it was OK to hook up my generator the way i did when a forest fire had destroyed our incoming power line a couple years ago and it would take a couple days to have the power restored
He came over to inspect it and said it is OK but it would be better to have it hooked to a transfer switch at the utillity pole for safety reasons.
The last time i had a "professional" doing work for me was a gas fitter to change my mobile home furnace from propane to nat gas twenty odd years ago.(it had to be done before the gas company would hook me up to the newly installed line)
Well guess what?.
When i went to lite the pilot later that day i smelled gas,..The sucker had forgotten to connect the main line back to the burner.
Had i lit a match i would've been blown to kingdom come. Shocked
Nope, he said the connection was OK.The transfer switch is just a safety measure.
The only diff is one has the papers and the other has not.
I rather get killed by my own mistake than by a " professional "
