[QUOTE="BReeves, post: 2945261, member: 10973"] Well aware of the possibility, spent my life in electronics and fully understand how electricity works. I know to flip the main before starting and flipping the generator breaker. If everyone had the sense to do it safely there would be no need for $400.00 transfer switches. On another note, I remember someone asking about the real possibility of a generator back feeding the grid. Can't remember if it was here or another forum. The thought was how long would it take to trip the breaker on a 5000 watt generator when it was suddenly asked to power every house in the neighborhood. This is what would happen if you tried to back feed the grid. [/QUOTE]
