Problem is cutting the main only breaks the two 120 volt lines coming in. The neutral that carries voltage back to the transformer is still hooked up and carrying current from the generator to the transformer.

I did mine differently. I installed a twist lock generator plug in on the basement wall. Panel box inside with circuit breakers hard wired to two 20 amp recepticals for the freezer and refrigerator. I use a power strip surge protector for the refrigerator, TV,etc. I am planning on running another line and add a plug for the well pump. The generator isn't tied into the grid in any way.
