[QUOTE="ratski, post: 2613394, member: 936"] We have two breaker boxes in the house. The one closest to the main and one on the other side of the house. The second box draws it's power off of the first one instead of thru the main. We hooked the power up to a separate breaker on the second box. It was MUCH closer to where I have run the generator when power goes out. One Male end of the cord attaches to the 240V feed off of the genny Male cord attaches to a recessed input on the house. Used a recessed, female and covered input so that kids don't accidentally touch the power circuit. This is wired to the separate breaker in the second box. Power goes out. Throw the main breaker in the first box. Throw the "genny" breaker in the second box Hook up the 100 foot power chord (pulling it off of a hose reel) to the genny and the input Start up the genny. Only thing left to do is hookup a "power alert" light to the main line to show me inside the house when the power is back on. Power comes back on. Throw the "genny breaker". Throw the main in the first box Dave [/QUOTE]
